During the course of WWII Infanterieregiment (mot.) Grossdeutschland expanded into a variety of division-sized formations. Nearing the end of war Panzerkorps Grossdeutschland was formed, consisting of Panzergrenadier Division GD and Panzergrenadier Division Brandenburg. By the end of WWII the 'Grossdeutschland family' included five divisions: Panzergrenadier Division GD, Panzergrenadier Division Brandenburg, Fuhrer-Begleit-Division, Fuhrer-Grenadier-Division and Panzergrenadier Division Kurmark. The soldiers of the GD formations could be found fighting at the very forefront of the action, especially on the Eastern Front. In the course of the war 116 soldiers belonging to the GD group of formations won the coveted Knight's Cross. Ralph Tegethoff's superb new book provides detailed information for all 116 recipients. The information provided for each includes full name, place and dates of birth and death, followed by a full account of the circumstances that resulted in them being awarded the Knight's Cross. Additional details of their military careers, including medals and decorations, are also noted.The text is accompanied by over 300 superb photographs and images of original award documents, the vast majority previously unpublished. Full translations are provided for numerous original combat reports and contemporary newspaper extracts. The author received a high degree of co-operation from GD veterans during the preparation of his work, meaning that 'The Knight's Cross Holders of Panzerkorps Gross-deutschland' provides the reader with a large quantity of outstanding information covering the actions and personalities of these elite formations, especially for the 1943-45 campaigns on the Eastern Front.
This is the first book in a monumental history of one of the most elite units in the German military in WWII. This book covers the "GD" from its inception as a "Wach"-Regiment in 1921 through its evolution into an infantry regiment. Covered are the unit's first actions in France in 1940, its preparations for Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of Britain, repositioning in the Balkans and subsequent transfer to the Eastern Front to participate in Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union.
Grossdeutschland Division, the premier German WW2, formation fought on the Eastern Front from 1941-45 with campaigns against the Red Army at Moscow, Rzhev, Dnieper, Kursk, Belgorod, East Prussia, Memel and Pillau where the Division was decimated.
Investigates the history and evolving appearance of the 'Grossdeutschland' Division, the German Army's premier combat unit during World War II. Featuring eight pages of original artwork and carefully chosen photographs depicting personalities, uniforms, insignia and personal equipment, this is the absorbing story of the German Army's elite 'fire brigade' during 1939–45. The unit began its life as an elite guard detachment; expanded to regimental size in 1939, it saw action in France in 1940 and Yugoslavia in 1941 before participating in the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union. Reinforced to divisional status, 'Grossdeutschland' fought on the Eastern Front in 1942–44, notably at Rzhev in late 1942 and Kharkov in early 1943. Refitted and redesignated a Panzergrenadier-Division, 'Grossdeutschland' played a key role in the battle of Kursk in July 1943, before acting as the Wehrmacht's 'fire brigade' in 1943–44. In late 1944, 'Grossdeutschland' was expanded to Panzerkorps status, with Panzergrenadier-Division 'Brandenburg' also taking the field. Further units joined the order of battle, the Führerbegleit-Brigade fighting in the Ardennes in 1944–45 before also being redesignated a division. All of these campaigns are covered in this book, which charts the evolving appearance of this elite formation over nearly six years of brutal warfare.
