Panzertruppenschule II
Template:Short description Template:Italic title Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Script error: No such module "Lang". (Armoured Troops School No.2) was originally formed as the Script error: No such module "Lang". (Cavalry School) at Krampnitz on 1 October 1937. It was renamed the Script error: No such module "Lang". (School for Mobile Troops) on 26 June 1941.[1]
It was the second of two major schools set up by the German Panzerwaffe in World War II to train German armour officers to operate Panzers.
The Script error: No such module "Lang". was a 'branch school', where officer candidates were sent after 12–16 weeks spent in basic training and having successfully undertaken an 8-week course at a Script error: No such module "Lang".. Prospective panzer troops, known as Script error: No such module "Lang". undertook a 16-week training course which aimed to familiarise the officer candidates with the nuances and workings of a Panzer, and also with the tactics to be used when commanding panzers in the field. Upon graduation, the recruit was promoted to Script error: No such module "Lang". and sent on field probation.
The instructors were chosen because of their skill, and many had seen action and received decorations.
In late 1943, the school was stripped of its experienced instructors, who were used to form the élite Panzer-Lehr-Division.
