654. Schwere Panzerjäger Abteilung

(654th Heavy Tank-hunter Battalion) Normandy, July 1944

“The British ‘infantry’ tanks had a horrible time. The Argylls of 15th Scottish, less their anti-tank guns, but
supported by the Churchill tanks of Scots Guards, took and held a height known as Quarry Hill (Mont
Pincon, Southwest of Caen), when there were three shots and three Churchill tanks ‘brewed’. Then two
enormous Jagdpanther tank-hunters, covered by a third, lumbered into the open, up the hill, through the
British position, and down the other side, leaving in all eleven shattered Churchill tanks behind them.
One of the Jagdpanther tank-hunters passed within a few feet of an artillery officer who had a close view
of the German commander who was standing up, wearing only a vest, presumably because of the heat, and
laughing. These enormous vehicles mounted a 88mm gun some 23 feet long on a Panther chassis.”

 Hauptmann Karl-Heinz Noak

Leutnant (Lieutenant) Karl-Heinz Noak was awarded the Knight’s Cross for
bravery near Orleans, France in June 1940 when he raced his unit across the
Loire River to capture a company of French soldiers. He was then promoted
to Oberleutnant (First Lieutenant) and given command of the 1. Kompanie,
137. Panzerjäger Abteilung for the invasion of the Soviet Union. Displaying
continued excellence in the field, he was selected as a company commander
for the Army NCO School in Tutlos, France. While there, he received the Oak
Leaves for his Knight’s Cross for his combat actions on the Eastern Front.
In early 1943, Noak was promoted to Hauptmann (Captain) and placed in
charge of the 654. Schwere Panzerjäger Abteilung. The battalion had just recently
upgraded to the new Ferdinand heavy tank-hunter. He commanded the battalion
through the battle at Kursk but was severely wounded during the fighting.
In recovery for almost a year, he returned to active duty as commander of the
Military School in Hamburg. Finally, in March 1944, he was once more given
command of 654. Schwere Panzerjäger Abteilung and led them through the Normandy campaign. Promoted to
Major in September 1944, he led the battalion through the Battle of the Bulge, and the final defence of the Rhine.
He was captured in early 1945 in the Ruhr.
Major Karl-Heinz Noak returned to the German Army in 1956, retiring as an Oberst (colonel) in 1974.

Characteristics
Hauptmann Karl-Heinz Noak is a Warrior and Higher Command team. He may join any company in 654. Schwere

The only support 654. Schwere Panzerjäger Abteilung could expect came from 326. Infanterie Division. This had
