113th Panzer Brigade
The 113th Panzer Brigade was a tank formation of the Wehrmacht Heer (German Army) in World War II. As a tank formation, it was part of the Panzer Arm (Panzerwaffe).
==History==
The 113th Panzer Brigade was formed on September 4, 1944. It was a Panzer Brigade, one of the new units formed by Adolf Hitler to stiffen the collapsing Eastern Front after Operation Bagration after observing the successes of ad-hoc kampfgruppes like Schwere Panzer Regiment Bake, commanded by Dr. Franz Bake. The creation of Panzer Brigades was opposed due to the diversion of resources needed to rebuilt the battered Panzer Divisions. Despite originally earmarked for the Eastern Front, the Allied breakthrough following Operation Cobra and the Falaise Pocket prompted its assignment on the Western Front.〔
Unlike earlier Panzer Brigades, it was equipped with two battalions of Panzer IV and Panther tanks, with two mechanized panzergrenadier battalions, instead of one battalion each. On paper, it was a strong formation. However, it lacked sufficient supporting units such as reconnaissance, artillery and engineers, which made a Panzer Division a lethal combination of armor and infantry. Assigned to the 5th Panzer Army, it participated in the Battle of Arracourt, as the Germans attempted to stop the US Third Army's penetrations in Lorraine. The battle resulted in German defeat and the virtual destruction of the 113th Panzer Brigade, leaving its commander dead in the battle as well.
On October 1, 1944, the 113th Panzer Brigade was disbanded and its shattered remnants was assigned to the 15th Panzergrenadier Division.
