Welcome to the website of the 21st Panzer Division Living History Group.

 

We portray the 125 Panzer Grenadier Regiment, a subordinate unit under Major Hans von Luck. Our display aims to show a likeness of a 1944 Normandy based encampment for rehabilitation and garrison duty.  By now the soldiers were a mixture of raw new recruits and wily veterans (Alte Hase) of the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) aimed to "pad out" and train the less experienced into an effective fighting force.

​

21st Panzer would eventually lead the counter attack on D Day reaching the coast before withdrawal. Their ultimate fate was surrender to the Soviets on the Eastern Front in 1945.
