Description

Frankendivision
The extraordinary history, organisation and equipment of the 12th Panzer Division of the German Army 1961-94
12. (GE) Panzerdivision “Frankendivision”, the “Franconian Division” was the last of twelve German Cold War combat divisions to be set up in 1961. It was already organised under a brigade structure according to Army Structure 2, which had been introduced to meet the challenges of the nuclear battlefield. To this end, all necessary types of troop formations were organised.
Unusually, 12. (GE) Panzerdivision was assigned the 3rd Brigade of the 1st (US) Infantry Division (Forward). In addition, 12. (GE) Panzerdivision was subordinated to VII (US) Corps in the event of a defensive scenario in accordance with the General Defense Plan. This was unique at the time, as the 12th would have been the only division of the German Army to be led and deployed by a US corps when defending against an attack by Warsaw Pact troops, and it would in turn have led a US brigade.
This publication shows the history of the Cold War “Franconian” Panzer Division from 1961-94 using impressive exercise photographs of its vehicles.
