In 1944 the Panzer Lehr Division took part in the invasion of Hungary before moving to France to await the Allied invasion of Europe. Unlike other panzer divisions of the German wehrmacht all the panzergrenadiers of the Panzer Lehr were mounted on half-tracks making it the only fully mechanised unit in the German army. In addition they were the first to fight alongside the new Tiger II tanks. They also wore a distinctive double-breasted assault gun-style jacket instead of the normal Heer field blouse.
