Hi, I'm looking for some sites that would have unit histories, uniforms, anecdotes, and other information on Großdeutchland. Specifically, I'm interested in the period 1942-3, when it was a motorized infantry division. I've checked Wikipedia and Feldgrau but they're a bit slim.

Can anyone help?

I've always found axis history forum a good source of info. I'm not sure of the exact web address but put it into a search engine. They have a good deal of info about individual units and you can probably find what you're looking for. Hope that helps!

Hi David

No problem one of my (many) areas of interest.

Please note its an interest but not an area of expertise LOL

Glad to be of some help to you.
