Wehrmacht Artillerie-Regiment 20 NCO Waffenrock
€0,01
Original Stunning NCO (Unteroffizier) Waffenrock which is red piped for Wehrmacht (Heer) Artillerie (Artillerie). The shoulder boards have added regimental cyphers denoting Artillerie-Regiment 20, the buttons bear the number 4 for the 4. Batterie. Researching the 4. Schwadron/ Artillerie-Regiment 20, we learn that the unit belonged to the 20. Infanterie-Division (later 20. Panzergrenadier-Division)! Condition as seen, the tunic is well preserved with some staining and complete with all its insignia. There are loops to hang an award (one loose).
20. Panzergrenadier-Division: In May 1940 the division took part in the invasion of France, and remained there on occupation duty until April 1941, except for one brief period on reserve in Germany. In June 1941 it joined Operation Barbarossa under Army Group Centre. In September it was transferred to Army Group North, and it spent most of 1942 on the Volkhov Front. In December it was transferred back to Army Group Centre for the relief attempt at the Battle of Velikiye Luki.
In July 1943 it was redesignated as 20th Panzergrenadier Division; by that time it had been given an assault gun battalion to support its infantry. It remained on the Eastern Front for the remainder of the war and ended the war fighting in the Battle of Berlin under the LVI Panzer Corps.
