How big was the fifth panzer army in 1943?

Answer 1

According to the Axis history factbook, the 5th panzer army had the following OOB in 1943:

Order of battle (1 Jan 1943)

10. Panzer-Division (in transit)

Division "Hermann Göring" (in transit)

334. Infanterie-Division (in transit)

Grenadier-Regiment 47 (LL) (in transit)

Order of battle (9 Apr 1943)

Division "Hermann Göring" (part)

334. Infanterie-Division

Italian 1a Divisione di Fanteria "Superga"

It may also have had operational command of other mainly italian divisions during 1943 at times, but in reality it was not really a 'army size' formation, since the troops it commanded could well have been a corps level formation. I do not know the number of personnel, but considering the number of divisions I suppose we are looking at approx. 40 000 - 50 000 men.

Answer 2

The Fifth Panzer Army, commanded by General Karl-Adolf Hollidt, was a German army unit during World War II. In 1943, it consisted of around 100,000 soldiers, including infantry, armored divisions, and support units. However, the composition and strength of the army could vary throughout the year due to casualties, reinforcements, and reorganization.
