Over the course of six years of combat during the Second World War, the 7th Panzer Division earned an unmatched reputation amongst friend and foe alike. Under the leadership of Generals such as the legendary Erwin Rommel, their exploits epitomized Germany’s new form of lightning warfare.
To the Germans, they were the elite 7th Panzer Division, but to their enemies, they were the Ghost Division.
Panzer Corps 2: Elite - Ghost Division focuses all of the action on the real historical battles fought by the 7th Panzer Division.
Before they were reformed into a full Panzer Division, you’ll experience the very early beginnings of this division’s battles in Poland as the 2nd Light Division. From there, you’ll campaign in France and learn firsthand exactly how they earned the name Ghost Division. Then you’ll take your veterans and join the epic struggle that engulfed Germany and the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. This campaign covers it all!
Like the Ghost Division itself, renowned for its speed that made it seem as if the unit was suddenly appearing behind enemy lines, this Elite campaign carries a strong emphasis on progression. The absolutely enormous wealth of World War II weapons and vehicles available in Panzer Corps 2 will be on full display for this campaign, as your battles rapidly progress from 1939 all the way to 1945.
From humble beginnings equipped with Panzer Is, you will have to constantly upgrade your arsenal to fight against ever improving Allied weapons from French Char Bs to British Matilda IIs to Soviet T-34/41s and IS-2s and everything in between.
To stay true to the real history of the real German 7th Panzer Division, this campaign faithfully follows the course of the Ghost Division through the Second World War with its content. We’ve meticulously researched the path the 7th Panzer Division charted through the Second World War, and you’ll experience that attention to detail with maps redrawing that exact course while being briefing by many of the historical leaders of the 7th Panzer Division. Leaders such as Generalleutnant Georg Stumme, Generalmajor Dr. Karl Mauss, and of course the legendary Desert Fox before he even earned that moniker, Erwin Rommel.
