Organization
For most of its history, the division was organized into three regiments. The tanks were organised into the 10th Panzer Regiment, and the panzergrenadiers, or mechanized infantry, were grouped into the 28th Panzer Grenadier Regiment and the 8th Panzer Grenadier Regiment. The 80th Panzer Artillery Regiment, the 8th Motorcycle Battalion, the 59th Panzer Reconnaissance Battalion, the 43rd Tank Destroyer Battalion, the 59th Panzer Engineer Battalion, the 59th Signal Battalion, and the 59th Panzer Divisional Supply Troops were also assigned to the division.

“When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
