The 510th Heavy Panzer Battalion (German: "schwere Panzerabteilung 510"; abbreviated: "s PzAbt 510") was a German heavy PanzerAbteilung (an independent battalion-sized unit), equipped with heavy tanks. The 510th saw action on the Eastern Front during the Second World War.
The 510th was formed June 1944; in July it was sent to Lithuania, where it fought in the Courland Pocket until the end of the war, attached to the 14th Panzer Division. Elements of the battalion were evacuated from Courland and transferred to the Western Front, where they subsequently surrendered to the Western Allies. A battle group with the last 15 Tiger tanks was left behind in Courland, where it surrendered to the Red Army.
