To go with my Dust 1947 Luftwaffe army I decided to add some more units but keep the Luftwaffe theme. Here are some Laser Grenadiers of the 22nd Field Division. A “historical” division that was never deployed, the division is made up of ground support personnel surplus to Luftwaffe needs due to serious losses of aircraft. Deployed mostly in defensive roles the fought the SSU on the eastern front and then against the Allies following the First Invasion of France. Most fared badly. With the increasing integration of VK technology and the resurgence of the Luftwaffe flying corps, most field divisions were disbanded and returned to their former roles. A few, like the 22nd, were retained as the survivors were, by now, veterans. Priding itself as being in the forefront of technology, the Luftwaffe equips a high proportion of the 22nd Field Division with lasers; so many in fact that the whole division sports the White Skull insignia.
