abstract
| - The Battle of Ivančice was a military engagement between the Republic of Czechoslovakia and Nazi Germany fought between October 20 and 28, 1938, in the vicinity of the village of Ivančice, south-west of Brno, Czechoslovakia. It was the largest armoured engagement of the campaign, and one of the major Czech victories in the war. The attack gained initial success but the Czechs eventually had to withdraw in the evening of October 28. By then the 2. Panzer-Division and the 29. Infanterie-Division (mot.) had suffered severe losses among their armoured vehicles. After the engagement, they had lost 25% of its strength, and following the battles of Battle of Brno and the Battles of Otnice, Bošovice and Velké Hostěrádky, the division was only half the strength it had when military operations began just a month earlier.
