In an Italian account of the 1942 North African battles, I found an
interesting comparison between German Panzerdivision and Italian armored
division average off-road combat cruise speed across the desert -
respectively, 20 kms / hour and 7 kms / hour.
Which, by the way and in addition to German communications being rated
as three to four times faster than Italian communications due to better
and more efficient German C3 technology, helps explain the gap in
operational performance between the two formations.
Are there any data about 1942 British and American armored division
average off-road speed?
