Panther A and StuG III G
Thirteen members of the 5. SS-Panzerregiment of the Wiking SS-Panzerdivision were awarded the Knight’s Cross. Though individual kill numbers are not available, Obersturmführer Senghas led them with over 30 armoured kills.
The division’s first Panzerabteilung (tank battalion) was formed in early 1942 when Wiking was upgraded to a Panzergrenadier- division. The cadre of these Panzer Kanonen (Panzer Aces) began then and stayed with the division throughout the war. Nearly all of these Panzer Kanonen survived the war, despite the regiment suffering severe casualties in fighting the Soviets across Russia, the Ukraine, Poland, and Hungary.
In River Of Heroes you may replace any or all Platoon Command teams from any SS-Panzer Platoons in the Wiking SS-Division with a Panzer Kanone for +65 points per platoon.
This set contains two individually sculpted tanks to use as Panzer Kanone in an SS-panzerdivision, or as unique command vehicles in any army. Also contains two special Panzer Kanone dice.
