Erratum

[from Grenadier 12]
Last issue's article on the Goering Formations in World War II contained an inaccuracy in regards to the redeployment of the Hermann Goering Division from Italy to the Eastern Front. The division did not leave Italy at the time indicated in the text and on Table 4. Instead, the division left northern Italy in late July 1944 (Jul II 44) and arrived on the Eastern Front in early August 1944 (Aug I 44).
