Experience the history of one of the Wehrmacht's most powerful and best-equipped divisions the Panzergrenadier Division Großdeutschland. From a modest infantry regiment to a state-of-the-art panzergrenadier division, its development reflects the Wehrmacht's constant tactical adaptation to the demands of a global war. Deployed on the front lines of the Eastern Front, the division often had to step in as the Wehrmacht's fire brigade to stabilise faltering fronts. Its soldiers were famous not only for their fighting strength, but also for their distinctive uniforms and insignia. The intertwined GD emblems, the various sleeve stripes and special badges made the division an unmistakable symbol at the time and continue to fascinate collectors, historians and re-enactment enthusiasts worldwide to this day. This book is dedicated to the uniformed effects, badges and visual details of the Großdeutschland Division and combines precise historical representation with vivid illustrations. At the same time, it opens a window into the history of an elite division that played a key role in decisive battles of the Second World War.
