Despite what the  name indicated, this was not an all-volunteer or fully Nordic unit. The  ranks were filled with men from across Europe, many of them conscripts.  A cadre of Norwegians in the Regiment 23 “Norge” and Danes in the  Regiment 24 “Danmark” formed the backbone of the new division.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Nordland was deployed in antipartisan operations in Croatia in the fall  of 1943. In 1944 the division saw hard fighting and heavy casualties  against the Red Army at Leningrad, Narva, Tannenberg, and Kurland. In  1945, Nordland, a division comprising mostly non-Germans, was among the  final formations to continue the fight in Berlin. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  This new illustrated history of the division includes more than 500  photos from the most-extensive private collections in Europe, along with  extensive maps and tables. Appendixes provide a clear explanation of  the division''s order of battle, a full lists of award recipients, and a  glossary of ranks and insignia.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57227923456382,"sku":"NW9780764367809","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780764367809.jpg?v=1778524220","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/11th-waffenss-freiwilligen-panzergrenadi","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
