From the time of its formation in France in 1943, \"Gz von Berlichingen\" saw bitter and bloody fighting in Normandy, the Seine front, Metz, the Saar, the Palatinate, and later the defense of the west wall until the final battles in Germany.

The units of \"Gz von Berlichingen\" received praise, not only from the German high command, but also earned the respect of its Allied adversaries.
