Flames of War – Volkssturm HMG Platoon

Half of the defenders of Berlin were members of the Volkssturm, or ‘People’s Militia.’ Poorly equipped, with little to no training, the Volkssturm was made up of the older men and young boys who had previously been considered unfit or unready for normal military service.

The 3/115 Siemensstadt Battalion was better organised and equipped than most Volkssturm formations. It comprised 770 men, mainly First World War veterans in their 50s who were reasonably fit factory workers, with experienced officers. It had three rifle companies and a support company with heavy machine guns, mortars and infantry guns.
