Ground forces of the Wehrmacht were especially in the second half of the war forced to flexibly respond to crisis situations through the creation of independent special purpose tactical grouping - battle groups (Kampfgruppen). As the war continued and gradually the strategic situation has evolved to the detriment of Germany, this flexibility has become a necessity. In the final period of the war with many ad hoc incurred by the battle groups up to the size of the regiments or debilitated divisions maintain an essentially permanent unit with its own logistics.

In the long term, this practice was counterproductive, however, some of the Kampfgruppen have been very successful.

An example of a successful Kamfgruppe the battle group was assembled in early 1944 in the southern Ukraine as primarily tank unit with supporting infantry and artillery - heavy tank regiment by his commander named like the schweres Panzer-Regiment Bäke.

The regiment was formed 23. in January 1944 around the crew Panzer regiment 11 with the commander of the colonel Franz Bäkem. Staff were subordinated to the Heavy tank section 503 with 34 heavy tanks, Pz. VI Tiger, II. section Panzer regiment 23 with 46 medium tanks, Pz. In Panther, Even. section of Artillery regiment (motorized) 88 with two batteries light self-propelled howitzers Wespe (a total of 12 pieces) and one battery of six heavy self-propelled howitzers Hummel, further, the sapper battalion and two battalions of mountain hunters.

Immediately after the formation of the regiment took part in the assembly XXXXVI. tank corps attempt the extrication of German troops encircled in the area between the cities of Umaň and Vinnica (the hardest of the fight took place in the area around the village of Balabanivka). In the open steppe between the Bug and the Dnieper Bäkovy tigers and panthers destroyed over 250 soviet tanks with the loss of only four. During this battle, Bäke personally destroyed three soviet tanks infantry weapons in close combat.

In the period from 11. 17. February then the regiment has played a significant role in the fighting in the so-called Čerkasském the boiler during the soviet Korsuñ-ševčenkovské operations. The attempt to rescue the encircled German units from the boiler overall did not succeed, however, III. panzer corps in the forefront with Bäkovým regiment has allowed thousands of men to escape from this trap. Oberstleutnant Bäke was behind the performances in command of the heavy panzer regiment awarded 21. February 1944 Swords to the Knight's cross.

Order of the commander of the 1. tank army, to which he was for the rest of their successful existence přidělěn, was the schweres Panzer-Regiment Bäke 25. February 1944 dissolved.
