After the \u003cstrong\u003eArmistice of Italy on September 8, 1943\u003c\/strong\u003e and the German occupation of Northern Italy, the SS recruited Italian volunteers who wished to continue fighting alongside Germany. The division was established in 1943\/44 and primarily deployed in \u003cstrong\u003eNorthern Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e for partisan warfare and security duties. As one of the late-formed and numerically weak volunteer divisions of the Waffen-SS, the 29th Division is among the rarer and lesser-known units – its division badges are accordingly sought after by Waffen-SS and Italian Campaign collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCombined orders are worthwhile: Combine several items and save on shipping costs!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Militaria-Hoya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419506696521,"sku":"21758","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9673\/5817\/files\/21.758a.jpg?v=1764319757","url":"https:\/\/www.militaria-hoya.com\/en\/products\/ss-29-waffen-grenadier-division-italien-italienische-nr-1-stoff-abzeichen","provider":"Militaria Hoya","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
