Does anyone besides myself think that the Rom 1st Armored Div was the most succesful pz div of Germany's allies? I know it had very succesful actions in the liberation of Romanian territories in '41 and continued to fight well after that. Even if it did not help stop the soviet advance in '44, it put up one hell of a fight according to this thread.
Thoughts?

Yes, it is between Iasi (Jassy) and Targu Frumos, if these places seem familiar to you.

Hi dragos03,
so, Kissle noticed the resistance (counterattacks) of the 1st Rom. Arm. Division, too.
I have found annother source, Marsch und Einsatz des IR 42 (Stahlmann/Atzesberger), 46. ID:
Since 5.8.44 I./IR 42 was put together with a german StGB near Christesti, south of Targul Frumos, as a kind of fireworkers.
In the aerea of the regiment also fought the 1st Rom. Armored division. This Division was reliable, only some tank crews missed training. The Pak of IR 42 and the romanian tanks had fought even agaist heavy IS-2 tanks on close distance.
But they could not stand the russian pressure. The Romanian Army collapsed. The 46. ID, now on its own, fall back to Roman. At this place the 46. ID tried to keep the Sereth-line. The retreat begun on 25.8., the division set over on the westside of the Sereth. The russian troops were following closely. On 26.8. Oberst Reuter took over the command of 46. ID, instead of Generalleutnant Roepke. The next line should be 15 km south of Roman, but on 25.8. Romania changed the frontside. So on 26.8. the IR 42 took a defensive line 4 km to the east of Piatra Neamt, in heavy fight against russian tanks and infantry. In the aerea of IR 42 the romanian army got in complete resolution (???), marching to the south. The IR 42 hold the front near Piatra Neamt and secured the streets on to the Bicaz-pass this day. The rest of the 46. ID retreated towards the ungarian border.
Greetings
Thomas
