17th SS Panzergrenadier Division Götz von Berlichingen
The 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division ''Götz von Berlichingen'' was a German Waffen-SS panzergrenadier division that saw action on the Western Front during World War II.
==Formation and training==
The division was raised near Poitiers, France as the ''Panzer-Grenadier-Division "Götz von Berlichingen"'' in October 1943. It was formed from scratch, with the majority of its original cadre coming from replacement units and conscripts, many of whom were Romanian Germans and French volunteers.〔''Les SS Au Poing-De-Fer: La Division Gotz Von Berlichingen Au Combat En Normandie'', Jean Mabire, ISBN 2-213-01420-5 / 9782213014203 / 2-213-01420-5〕 The division was granted the honour-title ''Götz von Berlichingen''. ''Obersturmbannführer'' Otto Binge oversaw the formation of the division, with the newly promoted ''Brigadeführer'' Werner Ostendorff taking command in January 1944. The ''Götz von Berlichingen'' was placed under the LXXX Army Corps, a part of ''Generalfeldmarschall'' Gerd von Rundstedt's ''Heeresgruppe D''.
As part of a plan to number all named SS divisions in early 1944, the division was re-titled the ''17th SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Division "Götz von Berlichingen"''. In February 1944, the division still lacked vehicles. During the same year, on the orders of LXXX Army Corps, the division began to round up French vehicles in an attempt to complete its mobilization. By March, most of the major combat formations were fully motorised, although two of the six infantry battalions were still on bicycles. On 1 June, the ''Götz von Berlichingen'' found itself at Thouars in France, with no tanks (although the crews were fully equipped with 42 ''Sturmgeschütz IV'' assault guns), only a few months' training, and below strength in officers and NCOs.
