German infantry organisation before the Second World War was strongly influenced by experiences from the First World War and military theories developed during the 1920s and 1930s, with an emphasis on offensive warfare. A first-wave infantry division in 1939 numbered approximately 17,700 men and, alongside three infantry regiments, included artillery, anti-tank, engineer and communications units, numerous machine guns and modern communications and command equipment for the period. During the war this organisation changed: some units became Panzergrenadier divisions from 1943, while a traditional infantry division was reduced to around 12,500 men, with less heavy artillery and improved anti-tank defence. An estimated 350 infantry divisions served in the Wehrmacht throughout WWII.

The Hermann Göring Division was a famous ground formation of the German Luftwaffe and was closely associated with Hermann Göring. Dragon depicts the division's operations in Italy during the German response to the Allied landing at Anzio near Rome. The Battle of Anzio began with Operation Shingle on 22 January 1944 and continued until 5 June. The Allied landing was initially successful with relatively low losses, but the failure to fully exploit this early success allowed German forces under Field Marshal Albert Kesselring to strengthen their defences and launch counterattacks. The operation developed into a battle of attrition, with approximately 43,000 Allied dead and wounded and around 40,000 German dead, wounded and captured. Dragon 6158 lets you add a distinctive subject from the Italian Campaign to your collection, with fast delivery and excellent customer service from Most-Models.com.
