Hey. I'm in the middle of doing a little diorama about Flak 88 of Grenadierdivision Grossdeutschland. Now I'm getting interested about the path of the division in WW 2.. I know it fought in France and in Russia, but does anyone know where? Any historic links or facts would be highly appriciated and praised. Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Marko N.

I have an excellent article in WWII History Magazine about the Grossdeutschland's brilliant defense at Targul Frumos. If you want more information, just ask.

Hi Marko ........this is probably 'by far " the best site you can find on every bit
of history - reference - and info on Grossdeutschland. You can find right down to
the exact weapons and vehicles that were used in each Regiment....right down through
the platoon...........and how many they had in service at the time. You also find every
battle fought, with date and location.
