Division General Göring

Kommandeure:

• Gen Paul Conrath, 21 Jul 1942 - 20 May 1943

Ia:

• Maj Wilhelm Werner, Jul 1942 - May 1943

Formed 21 Jul 1942 in Cognac as Brigade General Göring with:

• Brigadestab with Nachrichten-Zug and Musikkorps
• (Flak-)Regiment General Göring
• Schutzen-Regiment Hermann Göring
• Wach-Bataillon Hermann Göring in Berlin-Reinickendorf
• Heimatstab in Berlin-Reinickendorf
• Ersatz-Bataillon Hermann Göring in Utrecht
• 2 Begleit-Batterien Hermann Göring

On Nov 1942 strengthened and was renamed Division General Göring with:

• Grenadier-Regiment 1 Hermann Göring (from the Schutzen-Regiment)
• Grenadier-Regiment 2 Hermann Göring (new)
• Jäger-Regiment Hermann Göring, from Feb 1943

Several other units were forming in Mont-de-Marsan, including a Panzer-Regiment, when the division was rushed to Tunisia (initially only with Grenadier-Regiment 1 Hermann Göring).

Jäger-Regiment Hermann Göring and Grenadier-Regiment 2 Hermann Göring were later combined as Grenadier-Regiment 2 Hermann Göring.

The division was destroyed in Tunisia, but large parts were still forming in France, and these would be the basis for a new division.
