17. SS-PANZERGRENADIERDIVISION(GTZ VON BERLICHINGEN)
Te 17. SS-Panzergrenadierdivisionwas ordered to be formednear Poitiers, France in October 1943. Many of the recruits
were Volksdeutch (ethnic Germans) from Romania. Teprocess began on 15 November 1943. Te division wasgranted the title Gtz von Berlichingenafter the 15thcenturyGerman knight and mercenary Gottfried von Berlichingen (c.1480 1562) from Hornberg in Wrttemberg. Berlichingen
was made famous by writer and poet Johann Wolfgang vonGoethe (1749-1832) who wrote a play based on his life. Tedivisional symbol was an iron fist in a shield, taken fromBerlichingens iron prosthetic forearm, which he wore afterlosing his original during a siege.
Te formation of the division was overseen byObersturmbannfhrer Otto Binge, though final commandfell to SS-BrigadefhrerWerner Ostendorff in January 1944.Te division was placed under the LXXX Armee Korps.
As training continued into 1944, the division still lackedsufficient vehicles. In February, the division was ordered tocollect as many civilian vehicles as they could to maintain
the motorisation of key units. By March, they had motor-ised several units, but not all the panzergrenadierbattalionshad motor transport and the 3rdbattalions of each regiment
were bicycle mounted. Te Panzerabteilung was equippedwith StuG IV assault guns rather than more usual PanzerIV tanks.
After the D-Day landings on 6 June, the 17. SS-Panzergrenadierdivision was ordered from their garrisonin Touars, France to Normandy with orders to face theinvasion. Te first unit of the division to enter combat wasthe Aufklrungsabteilung who engaged US paratroopers ofthe 101stAirborne Division near Carentan on 11 June. By 13
June, the US forces had secured the town and were pushingsouth.
A Kampfgruppe consisting of the divisions 37. SS-Panzergrenadierregiment, 17. SS-Panzerabteilung and Vonder Heydtes 6. Fallschirmjgerregiment counterattackedthe advancing US paratroopers. A furious battle ensuedand several US parachute companies were routed beforethe timely arrival of Combat Command A of the US 2nd
Armored Division, which halted the German thrust. During
these operations SS-BrigadefhrerOstendorff was woundedand on 16 June SS-OberfhrerEduard Diesenhoffer was ap-pointed the new division commander.
For the next month the 17. SS-Panzergrenadierdivisionwasinvolved in fighting in the bocage country around St. L andCoutances, with the division suffering heavy loses.
At the start of Operation Cobra, the division stood in theline of the American advance. Tey fought to hold off theUS offensive, but they were partially surrounded in theCoutances Pocket. Tey broke out without considerable lossof equipment or men.
During August, some elements of the division werewithdrawn for refitting, while the remainder of the17. SS-Panzergrenadierdivision was attached to the 2. SS-Panzerdivision Das Reichfor the counterattack on Mortain(Operation Luttich). After this counteroffensive was repulsedby superior Allied airpower, the division was then split intofour kampfgruppenunder commanders Braune, Gunter, Fickand Wahl. All four kampfgruppen escaped entrapment inthe Falaise Pocket. Despite this, they remained in constantcontact with pursuing US forces until the end of August.Te remains of the kampfgruppenwere finally withdrawn toMetz in September to join the rebuilding division.

Good light artillery is critical in pinning or blinding enemypositions or strongpoints with smoke. SS-Mortar platoonsare excellent in this role due to the speed with which theyrespond to calls for fire.
With plenty of observer teams they can engage any targetacross the whole battlefield much faster than the conven-
tional artillery.

A Panzergrenadierregiment has considerable combat power,so it is important to know where the enemy is if its force isgoing to be used properly. Te scout platoon has the job offinding the enemy for the rest of the regiment.
Your scout platoon is very small. Do not waste it charginginto enemy machine-gun fire. Youll never achieve anythingthat way. Instead, use their mobility and stealth to work their
way forward, preventing enemy troops from ambushing youradvance platoons. Either that or have them work their waythrough the enemy lines, trying to avoid fighting, until theycan cause havoc amongst the enemys unprotected artillery.

Te SS-Aufklrungsplatoons of the 17. SS-Panzergrenadier-division are all motorised using the agile and fast

Te SS-Aufklrungsabteilungof the 17. SS-Panzergrenadier-divisionwas the first unit of the division into combat. Teirspeed allowed them to be deployed first in Normandy andthey went straight into the thick of things against the tough
American paratroopers.
With fewer armoured cars available than normal the infantryof the SS-Aufklrungsschwadronwere forced to take on moreof the roles normally taken by the SS-PanzersphPatrols.

17. SS-Panzergrenadierdivisionwas also supported by troops from the2. SS-Panzerdivision Das Reich. Tese troops use all ofthe German special rules on pages 241 to 245 of the rulebook as well as the following division-specific special rules.
INSTANTREADINESSTe training, experience, and close comradeship within theSS-Panzergrenadiersof Das Reichwas legendary. Teir long
experience of fighting the Red Army on the Eastern Fronttaught them the vital importance of Einsatzbereitshaft, orinstant readiness. Tis enabled them to defeat wave attacks
when Soviet infantry companies assaulted one after another.With scarcely a moments break to prepare for the next wave,faith in their comrades was essential for survival.
A Gepanzerte SS-Panzergrenadier Platoon from 2. DasReich SS-Panzerdivision, that is not Pinned Down before the
Assault Step, that becomes Pinned Down during the Assault
Step, can take a Motivation est.If the test is passed, remove the Pinned Down marker.
Otherwise, the platoon remains Pinned Down.
If the platoon is Pinned Down by Defensive Fire, they still fallback and the assault is over.
17. SS-PANZERGRENADIERDIVISION
ONE-WAYTRIPTOHEAVENAs a newly formed division the17. SS-PanzergrenadierdivisionGtz von Berlichingen entered combat in June 1944 withyouthful enthusiasm, fighting some ferocious encounters
with Americas best, the paratroopers. Although they wereconscripted from far away lands, these Germans still wishto do their part for the Fatherland and do not falter whenfacing the enemy in combat. Regardless of casualties, they
will fight on until they gain victory or fall trying!
When any SS-Panzergrenadier Platoon, SS-Scout Platoon,SS-Pionier Platoon, or SS-Aufklrungs Platoon from17. SS-Panzergrenadier-division Gtz von Berlichingen
fails its Motivation est to Counterattack during an assault,it has the option to either Break Off as normal or continuethe assault.
If the platoon elects to continue the assault, they fight onas if they had passed the Motivation est. However, if they
fail any further Motivation ests to Counterattack in thisassault, then the platoon is immediately Destroyed as if theyhad failed a Platoon Morale Check.
