Reference: March 1942 the Regiment General Göring was expanded to become the Reinforced Regiment (mot.) Hermann Göring. The Reinforced Regiment (mot.) Hermann Göring was upgraded to Brigade status on July 21ST 1942 and to Divisional status on October 17TH of that year. The Hermann Göring Division was virtually completely destroyed in North Africa in May 1943 and the survivors were reformed into the Hermann Göring Panzer Division on July 15TH 1943. The Hermann Göring Panzer Division was redesignated Hermann Göring Fallschirm Panzer Division on January 6TH 1944 and was used as a cadre for the formation of the Hermann Göring Fallschirm Panzer Korps in September 1944. Personnel serving in Panzer units of the Hermann Göring Division were issued with the black Panzer wrap-around tunic and the black overseas and M43 field caps. The national breast eagle worn on the black Panzer wrap tunics was identical to the standard issue eagle but was worked on a black background as opposed to the regular Luftwaffe blue/grey background.
