Germany - A New Panzer Division - 08 Sep to 10 Oct 1938
08 Sep 1938: That Versailles Treaty really did nothing good.
12 Sep 1938: I transfer 8 Infanterie-Divisionen from Armee Manstein to Armee Österreich which is on the border with Yugoslavia.I adjust the front of Armee Süd....
....then transfer 6 of its Infanterie-Divisionen to Armee Österreich.
The newly-deployed 253. Infanterie-Division is placed in training.
17 Sep 1938: Divisionen from Armee Österreich are still redeploying.
20 Sep 1938: Just in case Yugoslavia doesn't cooperate.
21 Sep 1938: I redeploy Panzerarmee Guderian to the Yugoslavian border.
23 Sep 1938: The 254. Infanterie-Division has been deployed and is placed in training.
The trained 60. Infanterie-Division (mot.) is assigned to Panzerarmee Guderian....
....while 3 trained Infanterie-Divisionen are assigned to Armee Süd.
28 Sep 1938: The 255. Infanterie-Division has been deployed and is now in training.
04 Oct 1938: Research has been completed on Improved Armour Protection....
....and I select 15cm sFH 18 from Rheinmetall next.
04-10 Oct 1938: The 256. and 257. Infanterie-Divisionen have been deployed and placed in training.
10 Oct 1938: I copy the template of the current Panzer-Division and add 2 Medium Panzer Battalionen....
....then remove a Light Panzer Battalion.
I then select a Mobile Combat Support Group and add 4 Mobile Support Battalionen, like a Motorized Artillery Battalion.
Finally I add a Field Hospital.
The Panzer-Division39 is ready.
I don't have enough equipment to convert all the current Panzer-Divisionen but this is a beginning.
