Items related to German Army Elite Units 1939-45: No.380 (Men-at-Arms)
In World War II a number of German Army units and divisions were classed as élites, and were distinguished by special insignia of various kinds. For some this status was simply a matter of lineage - e.g. the Infantry Regiment 'List', which traced its identity to the Bavarian unit with which Hitler had served in World War I. Some, like the 'Grossdeutschland' and Panzer-Lehr divisions, were raised from particularly high grade personnel. Other titles honoured extraordinary battlefield exploits or heroic sacrifice, like the 'Brandenburg' and 'Hoch und Deutschmeister' divisions. This fact-packed introduction to these famous units is illustrated with rare photographs and detailed colour plates.

A number of German regiments and divisions, including the famous 21 Panzer Division and the Panzer Lehr Division, were considered "elite". This status was usually marked by the award of a special badge or another uniform distinction. This title looks at these special uniform distinctions, along with the organization, most important actions and leading personalities of the most famous regiments and divisions of the World War II Wehrmacht.
