Product details

Background & context

Following the catastrophic losses in the summer of 1944 - the collapse of Army Group Centre during Operation Bagration and the loss of the 5th Panzer Army in Normandy - the Wehrmacht created approximately 78 Volksgrenadier Divisions from autumn 1944 onwards. It is important to distinguish: Volksgrenadier Divisions should not be confused with the Volkssturm. While the Volkssturm consisted of old men and adolescents with minimal equipment, Volksgrenadier Divisions were formed around a core of experienced veterans, supplemented by "freed up" personnel from the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe. Many of these divisions showed surprisingly high morale and fighting power. Armed with the modern StG44, Volksgrenadiers fought in the Ardennes Offensive, on the Siegfried Line, and in the final defensive battles on German soil.

On the tabletop

In Bolt Action the Volksgrenadiers represent German infantry from autumn 1944, fighting in the Ardennes, on the Siegfried Line, on the Eastern Front and in the final battles in Germany. All ten metal figures carry the StG 44, so your squad puts out a dense volume of fire at short range. It is strongest in houses, ruins or behind hedgerows where the enemy has to come close. Leaders and anti-tank weapons come from other units, as the box contains only riflemen.
