About the Gro?deutschland Division:
The Gro?deutschland Division (lit. Greater Germany Division) was an e'lite German
Heer combat unit which saw action during World War II.
Gro?deutschland is sometimes mistakenly perceived as being a part of the Waffen-SS,
whereas it was actually a Heer unit. It was, along with the Panzer Lehr Division,
the best equipped unit in the Wehrmacht, receiving equipment before all other
units (including Waffen-SS units). The GD Division served exclusively on the
Eastern Front. It was annihilated near Pillau in May 1945.
About the Sd.Kfz. 251:
The German armed forces revolutionized warfare with its stunning blitzkrieg
tactics. Instrumental in this new kind of war were the panzers and the panzergrenadiers
in their mobile, armored vehicles. One of the mainstays of the panzergrenadiers
was the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track with its top speed of 53km/h, a vehicle that
was built in numerous configurations.
