Formed around a core of Veteran Troops and armed with the new StG44; the Volksgrenadiers head to battle in defense of their homeland!

After suffering a double loss (both Army group Center in Operation Bagration; and the Fifth Panzer Army to the Allies in Normandy) the German Army created some 78 Volksgrenadier divisions from Autumn 1944 onwards.

Volksgrenadier divisions participated in the Battle of the Bulge; the defense of the Siegfried Line and Eastern Front; and in the final battles in Germany. Volksgrenadier divisions should not be confused with the Volkssturm; which is an entirely different; ill equiped; old; unfit; and young type of unit.

Several Volksgrenadier divisions; especially those made up of jobless Wehrmacht personnel drawn from the Kriegsmarine and the Luftwaffe; displayed high motivation and morale which resulted in surprisingly good cohesion and military effectiveness against the combined Allied armies.
