It was shipped to Romania and was made the armoured spearhead of the 12th Army.
It managed some blitzkrieg tactics through the Balkans, separating the Greek Army from the Royal Yugoslav Army, then attacking into Yugoslavia itself.
As part of the 12th Army, the 9th Panzer Division pushed back the main British Army, Greek and Australian Army forces.
