The German 19th Panzer Division was created from the 19th Infantry Division and was formed on 1 November 1940. In July 1941 it moved to the central sector of the Eastern front until December 1942 when it was transferred south. It was pushed back though Ukraine and Poland and surrendered in Czechoslovakia in May 1945.
