The German III Panzer Corps, formed on the occasion of Operation "Fall Blau" in the late spring of 1942, served exclusively on the Eastern Front until the end of WW2 and became the spearhead of almost all major offensive and defensive operations of the Wehrmacht. Along the way, this large unit united various German armoured divisions, but also units of the Axis powers, such as the 2nd Romanian Mountain Division.
This formation distinguished itself in the steppes of the Caucasus in 1942, in the plains of Kursk and Kharkov in 1943, in the cauldron of Cherkassy in February 1944 or in the defence of Debrecen in the autumn of the same year. In March 1945, the III Panzer Corps was still deployed during the last German offensive in Hungary. This book aims to trace the extraordinary career of one of the largest and most important mechanised major units of the German Wehrmacht in World War 2.
