THE COMBAT HISTORY OF SCHWERE PANZER ABTEILUNG 507, In Action in the East and West with Tiger I and Tiger II #2405

A collaborative effort by members of the former battalion and edited by Helmut Schneider. Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 507 was formed in late 1943 using cadre provided from Panzer-Regiment 4 of the 13. Panzer-Division. In early 1944, it was sent to the Eastern Front, where it successfully participated in a number of defensive efforts as a mobile “fire brigade.” In early 1945, it was sent to Paderborn for reconstitution. There it was being refitted with the Tiger II, when it was hastily attached to SS-Panzer-Brigade “Westfalen” for the defense of the Paderborn area. After losing the remainder of its tanks to combat activity or their forced transfer to SS forces, the battalion moved to Czechoslovakia, where it was again issued combat vehicles, including the Hetzer tank destroyer.
