Army Grossdeutschland Cuff Title - Gothic Script

The Panzer Grenadier Division Großdeutschland was an elite combat unit of the German Army (Heer) that fought on the Eastern Front in World War II. The unit originally started out as a ceremonial guard unit in the 1920s but by the late 1930s it had grown into a regiment of the Wehrmacht. The regiment would later be expanded and renamed Infantry Division Großdeutschland in 1942, and after significant reorganization was renamed Panzergrenadier Division Großdeutschland in May 1943. In November 1944, while the division retained its status as a panzergrenadierdivision, some of its subordinate units were expanded to divisional status, and the whole group of divisions were reorganized as Panzerkorps Großdeutschland.

Worn 6 inches above the cuff, a cuff title is a form of insignia placed on the sleeve, near the cuff of German military and paramilitary uniforms, most commonly seen in the Second World War but also seen postwar. Cuff titles are generally associated with units of the Waffen SS but were widely used by other branches of the German military, including paramilitary and civilian organizations. The Großdeutschland Infantry Regiment (later Großdeutschland Division) was also well known for their use of cuff titles. The Deutsches Afrikakorps was famous for its cuff title, which was the genesis of future campaign cuff titles
