Status: offline 		Does anyone know if Hvy Pz Regt Bake is in the German Order of Battle? I truly hope so, since it was the spearhead of the reflief operation. The Regt's commander was Lt Col Dr Franz Bake, whom was a highly decorate officer and from the sources that I have read was awarded the Tank Destruction Badge at Kursk three times for single handed destruction of an enemy armoured fighting vehicle with a hand held weapon. His command consisted of one battallion of Panthers, one battalion of Tigers, one battalion of Pioneers, and a battalion of self-propelled artillery. I'm very curious to see how this unit, if included, is modeled within the game.

If I know correctly, it consisted I./24. Panzer-Abteilung (Panther) and schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503 (equipped with Tiger Is).

And so you could ask what do tankers and dentists have in common - they both like inflicting pain on other people....
