Elite or Trash? German D-Day Unit at Omaha

Published on Fri, May 31st 2024 Education Rectangular HD

Today we look at the 352nd German Infantry Division that was responsible for the defense of Omaha Beach. Now depending on who you ask, the division was either elite or trash. Well as so often, a look at the details might reveal a bit more information. We look at the division weapons layout, its experience and the German combat effectiveness rating the division received.
