What does Grossdeutschland mean to the individual soldaten serving within the regiment?

"The soldaten's honor lies in his unconditional service to the death for the people and the Fatherland.

"Being the heart of the German Army, born from the Wacht (fire brigade) Regiment, Berlin, with the best soldaten from all Germany, this INFANTRY REGIMENT GROSSDEUTSCHLAND should set the example for loyalty, diligence, humility, and steadfastness.

"After the onset of war, the priority of this army, as is that of the entire Wehrmacht (military), is the security of the Great German Fatherland:

~ as the home which held all of the German people,

~ as the idea of social law and order,

~ as keeper of thousand-year-old German traditions."


"GOTT, EHRE, UND VATERLAND"

(GOD, HONOR, AND FATHERLAND)


~From the manual of Panzer Grenadier
Division Grossdeutschland
