10th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg
The 10th SS Panzer Division ''Frundsberg'' or 10.SS-Panzer-Division ''Frundsberg'' was a German Waffen SS panzer division. The division was formed at the beginning of 1943 as a reserve for the expected Allied invasion of France. However, their first campaign was in Ukraine in April 1944. Highly motivated after combat success in the Ukraine, the unit was then transported back to the west, where it fought the Allies in France and at Arnhem. The division was later transported to Pomerania, then fought south east of Berlin in the Lausitz area until the end of the war.
==History==
Initially, the name ''Karl der Große (Charlemagne)'' was used for the Division for some time in 1943. However, French volunteers in the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS used the name Charlemagne (33rd Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS Charlemagne (1st French)), so instead the honor title ''Frundsberg'' was chosen, which refers to the 16th Century German landsknecht commander Georg von Frundsberg. The division was mainly formed from conscripts. It first saw action at Tarnopol in April 1944 and later took part in the rescue of German troops cut off in the Kamenets-Podolsky pocket.
It was then sent to Normandy to counter the Allied landings. It, and its "twin" Division, the 9th SS Panzer-Division ''Hohenstaufen'', played an important part in holding the British Forces back in Normandy, particularly during Operation Epsom. The division retreated into Belgium before being sent to rest near Arnhem, where it soon had to fight the Allied parachute assault during Operation Market Garden at Nijmegen, in the Netherlands, when together with the 9th SS Panzer division it constituted the II SS Panzer Corps. After rebuilding, it fought in the Alsace in January 1945. It was then sent to the Eastern Front, where it fought against the Red Army in Pomerania and then Saxony. Encircled at the Halbe Pocket, the division had many losses but managed to break out of the encirclement and retreat through Moritzburg, before reaching the area of Teplice in Czechoslovakia, where the division surrendered to the US Army at the end of the war.〔Georg Tessin, ''Verbände und Truppen der deutschen Wehrmacht und Waffen-SS'', Vol. III, p. 188, Osnabrück: Biblio Verlag, 1974〕
