Does anyone know which armored units took part in the entry into the Sudetenland in 1938?

Thanks.

Hello Marcus :D; just to start.......at least...............

In order to carry out the ocupation of the Sudetenland, the following divisions were subordinated to the XVI AK (Mot) under General Heinz Guderian: the 1 Pz, the 13 ID (Mot) and the 20 ID (Mot). The ocupation was fulfilled in three stages. On Oct 03 1938, the 13 ID (Mot) under General Otto seized Eger, Asch and Franzensbad. On Oct 04 1938, the 1 Pz seized Karlsbad and on Oct 05 1938 the Corps as a whole moved up to the designed line (new border with CSR).

Hello Marcus :D; and the 3 Pz...................

On Oct 08 the daily objectives had been reached. Next day, Oct 09 1938, the march proceeded and the Generaloberst v. Rundstedt's troops - including the 3 Pz - advanced from the line Grulich - Mährisch Schönberg - Braunseifen - south of Troppau. That very day the villages, cities and the countryside were seized without resistance.
