Operation "Fall Weserübung”

“Operation Weserübung”, the invasion of Norway. A small number of panzers were deployed as part of “Panzer-Abteilung z.b.V.40”. By 25 April 1940, after seeing combat, the unit reported 29 Panzerkampfwagen I, 18 Panzerkampfwagen II and four Kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen, as well as three Neubau-Panzerkampfwagen IV as being operational. Some of its panzers came from Panzer-Regiment 15 or 31 from 5. Panzer-Division, which is indicated by the over-painted markings on the turret. These consisted of a segmented yellow-black-yellow band at the base of the turret.
