The 5th, 2nd 11th, 9th and 14th Panzer Division each had one regiment with two battalions. Each battalions having one medium and two light companies. The medium company having 19 Panzers and the light companies having 22 Panzers. However, only two regiments(3rd & 10th) had the full complement in the light companies.

Also, the 8th Panzer Division had three battalions in it's Panzer regiment.
