The 21st Panzer Division, reorganized after the Africa campaign with undesirable personnel from multiple divisions, fought throughout the Normandy campaign and is particularly noted for its defensive actions during Operation Goodwood, though its equipment manufactured in French factories and personnel issues created fundamental weaknesses that training could not fully overcome.

21st Panzer Division, Normandy 1944, Battle of Caen, Overlord, DDay #ww2 #military #panzerAdded:
Only 21st Panzer Division. The division was reorganized after the Africa campaign with undesirable personnel from a large number of divisions.
Even very thorough and experienced training could never overcome this basic fault.
Part of its equipment was manufactured in French factories.
General Strappenburg is probably a little too harsh on 21st Panzer Division. This division fought from the beginning of the Normandy campaign to the end.
21st Panzer Division fought pretty well in defense and is famous for its actions in Operation Goodwood.
