The Panzer Division (initially motorized) SS Wiking (Alm. 5. SS-Panzerdivision "Wiking") is the name of a German tactical unit, which has been part of Waffen SS since World War II. The Union was founded in the mid-1940s on the basis of the SS-Standarde Germania Regiment. His first commander was Feliks Steiner. The division was not only from the Germans, but also volunteers from countries such as Denmark, Estonia, Finland and Norway. The origin of the soldiers, mostly from Northern Europe, can explain the name. The division began by joining the war route in the Barbarossa Operation in 1941, where he fought in the South Army Group in Ukraine and reached the Don and Mius rivers. In 1942, the Division continued to fight in the south of the USSR by realizing the so -called autumn Blau. At the end of this year, the unit joined an operation aimed at seizing Grozni in Chechnya, but was completely defeated. At the end of 1942, the Viking SS division was able to withdraw from the Caucasus. In 1943, he successfully fought in Harkov and joined the Battle of Kursk, and then repulsed the Soviet counter -attack. In 1944, he engaged in anti -Partisan activities in Poland and fought against the Red Army in the Warsaw region. At the beginning of 1945, the division fought in Hungary and ended the war route in Austria by surrendering to the Allied forces. The troops of the division committed numerous war crimes during the war on the Eastern Front and participated in the genocide crime against the Jewish population. Panzergrenadier is a German term used for the formation of Panzer Grenadier, which is trained in close cooperation with its own tanks. This term was officially used in 1942, when infantry divisions were re -called Grenadier Divisions and Motorized Infantry Divisions as Panzer Grenadier Divisions. It is worth adding that the Schützen Regiment in 1937-1942 was used to define the infantry regiments working in armored troops. Theoretically, the basic equipment of armored Grenadier divisions would be armored semi -crawled carriers, especially SD.KFZ.251, but these infantry were often transported by trucks due to insufficient production. As a standard, an armored Grenadier Division consisted of three infantry regiments, two battalion in each regiment, and a large number of support units, including tanks, aircraft, aircraft, fortifications and communication units. Steug III, such as swaddled motor balls, were frequently used in these formations. It is worth adding that armored grenade divisions are created not only in Wehrmacht, but also on Waffen SS - for example Totenkopf Division or Hohenceaufen Division. Recommendations
