7th Panzer Div. Info
#2
From the info I have come across it appears the 7th Panzer division dissolved or was possibly absorbed by other divisions in June of 1940 after battling through Belgium and France. The first prototypes for the Tiger 1 from Henschel and Porshe were not delivered until April 1942. So I'd guess no Tigers for the 7th.

I found a book about the 7th - The 7th Panzer Division: An Illustrated History of Rommel's "Ghost Division" 1938-1945, also I read something about the 7th surrending to Patton in 1945.

Update: The 503 Tiger Battalion had its 3 Tiger companies distributed to other divisions prior to Kursk, the 7th Panzer Division got one company.
