Fallschirm-Panzer-Division 'Hermann Göring'
With Lawrence Paterson
Part of the Operation Avalanche (Salerno) 80th Anniversary series
• Operation Avalanche (S...
In the early years of the Third Reich, Hermann Goring, worked to establish his own personal army to rival Himmler's SS and Reichswehr. The result: a private Prussian police force which grew into one of the most powerful armoured units in the Wehrmacht. This unit fought throughout the war, engaging Anglo-American forces in vicious battles across the European theatres of Tunisia, Sicily and Italy before finally being defeated by the Red Army on the Eastern Front. In today's talk, we will learn about the Hermann Goring Panzer Division with a focus on their defence of Italy after the Salerno landings in September 1943.
Lawrence Paterson has been writing non-fiction Second World War history books since 2000; his first book published by Pen & Sword in 2002.
