Herman Goring Panzer Division is an e-book that has been long
awaited. This e-book not only examines the highly competent record
of the Herman Goring Panzer Division but also discusses the
reasons why it was unfairly labeled a second-class division. In fact,
the Luftwaffe's Herman Goring Panzer Division was an elite unit
in every sense of the word. Led by gallant, but sometimes poorly
trained, Luftwaffe generals, the Herman Goring Panzer Division
proven itself in numerous campaigns and battles for four years in
North Africa, Sicily, Italy and on the Eastern Front. The Herman
Goring Panzer Division is proof that even poorly trained troops,
with a sound ideological commitment, can earn the sobriquet "elite"
by proving themselves in combat.
When you finish reading Herman Goring Panzer Division you will
realize that the Herman Goring Panzer Division was an elite
combat unit in every sense of the word entitled to the highest
historical honors. The truth of that appreciation has withstood every
attempt to damn it by ideological enemies who objected to, among
other trivialities, Herman Goring's obesity.

"Most of the Herman Goring Division, still not fully organized, when it was sent piecemeal to Tunisia in February/March
1943. The unit was under the command of Luftwaffe Oberst Schmid, who was promoted to Generalmajor shortly
thereafter, It was under the title Kampfgruppe Schmid that Herman Goring Division elements, varying in number between
7,000 and 11,000 men, fought the British, US and French forces, with considerable élan. The Herman Goring Division
quickly earned a reputation for aggression in the attack and reliability under fire, despite often being committed to battle
dispersed and attached to various Army units. It was under the title of Division 'Hermann Goring' that in April 1943, the
unit was commended in official Wehrmacht communiqués for their 'exemplary fighting spirit and intrepid valor'."
