The Volksgrenadier divisions were formed in the Autumn of 1944 after the destruction of Army Group Centre by the Soviets in the east and of the Fifth Panzer Army in Normandy in the west. The new infantry divisions were designed to economise on personnel and to be primarily focused on defence.
The Volksgrenadier units were armed with a higher proportion of automatic weapons to create a higher volume of firepower. The Sturmgewehr 44 (or StG 44) assault rifle was used to arm two of the platoons in each Volksgrenadierkompanie, giving them devastating firepower, but only at short ranges. They were also issued with very large numbers of Panzerfaust anti-tank weapons, once again short-ranged, but still a powerful asset against Allied tanks. The highly efficient MG42 machine-gun still played an important role with the assault rifle armed Sturm (assault) platoons issued with two in the third squad.
This product is supplied unpainted. Preparation and assembly are required.
