The 3rd Armored Division was formed in Tunisia in June 1943 and moved into Morocco for its first mission. The division didn’t receive its armor until December 1943 and then gradually lost personnel and equipment to the 1st and 5th Armored Divisions. The division was dissolved in August 1944. The division was reformed on 1 May 1945[citation needed] as the Maquis division, taking part in the final offensive in Germany and dissolved again on 18 April 1946.
