In 1943 further deliveries of German equipment started to
arrive in Romania, some were new, some were cast offs from
German Panzerdivisions, but all were welcome additions to
the Romanian armoured forces.
The T-3, T-4 tanks and TA assault guns saw service from early
in 1944, first with the ‘Cantemir’ Mixed Armoured Group
and from March 1944 with the Rapid Armoured Detachment
and finally, by August, with the full 1st Armoured Division.
