I have been reading some World War II history, and I always see certain armies or divisions identified as 'crack,' such as the 'crack Panzer Division' or the 'crack Airborne Division.' What does that mean?

Just by way of support for mo's answer, this is an excerpt from Dictionary.com:
Crack
adj.
Excelling in skill or achievement; first-rate: a crack shot; a crack tennis player.
