Formation

The 2nd VS-Panzer Division Das Reich was a part of the original expansion of the Verteidigungsstaffel in the late 1880s. Several more armor, infantry, and artillery regiments were created and allocated to the newly-created divisions, with Das Reich receiving its subordinate units first. By the end of the 1880s, the division was fully functional.
