German Luftwaffe Field Division Squad
After the the initial spectacular success of the German invasion of Russia in1941 the invasion slowed to a crawl as the weather and hard fighting grounddown their formations. Desperate to shore up the front seven regiments wereformed of non-flying personnel taken from the German air force, the Luftwaffe.These regiments were equipped with standard infantry weapons, and sent toquieter areas of the front to gain experience.
As the war continued more and more Luftwaffe personnel were drafted into whatbecame Luftwaffe Field Divisions, 21 divisions being formed with 12,500 men ineach at full strength. They wore the trademark Luftwaffe blue/grey uniforms andmany also donned the long camouflaged M1942 jacket or zeltbahn tent capes.
Despite their poor levels of training, they fought bravely in Normandy, inItaly and on the Russian front. The average age of the soldier in these unitswas 30 years old – much older than other front line troops.
