von Tippelskirch did mention in his book "geschichte des Zweiten Weltkrieg" that there were in summer 1942 preparations to sent Africa two Panzer-divisions which were "equipped for tropical warfare". Eventually those Panzer-divisions were senti to Eastern front?
Does anyone know the numbers of those Panzer-divisions?
Two Panzer-divisions for Rommel?

Because of the fast changing situation on the eastern front every Panzerdivision available in France was under discussion. They did not fix certain divisions because they had to pick these which were in refreshing/reorganizing France at the moment the decision wwould have been made.
Divisions in the west summer - end 1942 were
1.SS, 2.SS, 6.Pz., 7.Pz., 10.Pz., 26.Pz.
