For the offensive the German Army had
in the north the 6th SS Panzer Army, commanded by General Sepp Dietrich. In the
centre of the line was 5th Panzer Army, under General Hasso von Manteuffel,
tasked with supporting Dietrich's left flank. Further south was 7th Army, a
follow-up force shielding Manteuffel's left flank. Between them, Dietrich and
Manteuffel fielded 28 divisions, ten of them armoured. In the armoured
divisions were concentrated 1,250 of the 2,600 tanks and assault guns amassed
for the Ardennes offensive, now code-named Autumn Mist. In total, the attack
would involve thirty divisions, including twelve panzer divisions—roughly
240,000 men.
