3.Infanterie-Division
The 3. Infanterie-Division was formed in Frankfurt/Oder on 15 October 1935 from the cover name Kommandant von Frankfurt/Oder. The infantry regiments were formed from 8. (Preußisches) Infanterie-Regiment and 9. (Preußisches) Infanterie-Regiment of 3. Division of the Reichwehr.
The 3.Infanterie-Division was mobilized on August 1st, 1939 for operations in Poland. When the attack on Poland was launched on September 1st, 1939, the 3.Infanterie-Division was a part of II.Armee-Korps under 4.Armee, Heeresgruppe Nord. The 4.Armee was to attack into the Polish Corridor from the region of Pomerania in Germany in attempt to link up with the 3.Armee in East Prussia and to isolate the Polish coastal forces in the region of Danzig from the rest of the battle to the south. The 3.Infanterie-Division crossed into Poland in the van of the 4.Armee attack against the Polish Corridor. The region of its attack was known as the Tuchola Forest, an area defended only lightly by the Polish 9th Infantry Division and Pomorska Cavalry Brigade. It broke through the Polish defenses at Seenkette between Nandsburg and Mrotschen, and fought across the Brda (Braha) River west of Crone, where it pursued through the Tucheler Heide to the Vistula (Weichsel) River in the region of Topolno-Grabowko. The 3.Infanterie-Division then took part in pursuit combat over the Weichsel River in the direction of Modlin. It then took part in security operations against the Bzura Pocket between Woclawek and Wyscogrod, before fighting near Plock and advancing in the direction of Gostynin, ending its stint in Poland near Lowicz before being transfered to the Eifel region of Germany along the German-Luxembourg border.
When the attack on France and the Low Countries was launched in May, 1940 the 3.Infanterie-Division was under III.Armee-Korps, 12.Armee, Heeresgruppe A. It advanced though Luxembourg and Belgium to the Maas River at Nouzonville where it fought across. It then secured the area between Ewergnicourt and Balham before advancing over the Aisne to Asfeld, moving further on to the Canal du Centre in the region Digoin-Chalons, soon after ending the campaign in security operations along the demarkation-line.
In October 1940 after the Campaign in France had ended, the 3.Infanterie-Division was moved back into Germany and reorganized into the 3.Infanterie-Division (mot).

1.Infanterie-Division
The 1. Infanterie-Division was formed in in Königsberg on 15 October 1935 from the cover name Artillerieführer I. The infantry regiments were formed from 1. (Preußisches) Infanterie-Regiment of 1. Division of the Reichwehr.
In 1939, during the invasion of Poland, the division was part of XXVI.Armee-Korp (Armee-Korps Wodrig), which in turn was part of General von Kuchler's 3.Armee beneath von Bock's Heeresgruppe Nord. The 1.Infanterie-Division first saw combat when the 3.Armee launched across the East Prussian border. The 3.Armee was attempting to break through the Polish lines north of Warsaw, and in so doing, had to first crush the strong Polish defensive positions in and around the Polish city of Mlawa. Mlawa was one of the few heavily defended Polish fortifications, and was being held by the Polish 20th Infantry Division and the near-by Mazowiecka Cavalry Brigade. The 1.Infanterie-Division attacked the right wing of the Polish 20th Infantry Division in an attempt to take Mlawa and thus help open the way for the advance of the rest of the 3.Armee towards Warsaw. The Poles held back the attacks of 1.Infanterie-Division though, until German units to the east created a dangerous gap in the lines between the 20th and the Mazowiecka Cavalry Brigade, effectively comprimising the defensive positions it held, and causing it to pull out of Mlawa to new defensive position along the Vistula River to the south, just north of Warsaw. After the heavy engagements between September 1st and 4th along the border, the 1.Infanterie-Division pushed south and east where it crossed over the Narew and Bug Rivers, fighting near Wegrow and Garwolin, finally ending the Campaign to the east of Warsaw near Siedice.
The division took part in the 1940 invasion of France, though only being lightly engaged.
In June,1941, the 1.Infanterie-Divison invaded Russia as part of Heeresgruppe Nord, and was heavily engaged during the drive on Leningrad. While suffering very heavy losses in the first campaigns of 1941, it would remain as part of 1.Armeekorps, a staple of the Leningrad fighting, taking part in the battles of Lake Peipus and Lake Ladoga, until October 1943 when it was seconded to Heeresgruppe Süd as part of XXXXVIII.Panzer-Korps. Here the Division saw heavy action in the battle of Krivoi Rog in the Dnieper campaign, and was later encircled with 1.Panzer-Armee between the Bug and the Dnestr rivers in March 1944. The Division managed to breakout as rear-guard of XLVI.Panzer Corps, suffering heavy casualties.
Rested and refitted, the Division was next sent to the Central sector of Heeresgruppe Mitte. Escaping piecemeal from the overwhelming Soviet Summer 1944 offensive, but still relatively intact, it remained with what was left of Heeresgruppe Mitte, later ending the war in early 1945 fighting in it's native East Prussia.

Heer
The German Heer, or army, was formed in May of 1935. It was formed after the passing of the "Law for the Reconstruction of the National Defense Forces". This law brough back into existance a free standing German army, navy and airforce, something that had been essentially banned after the end of World War I.
With the end of World War I and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, the Weimar Republic - the successor to Imperial Germany - was allowed only a small defensive military force known as the Reichswehr. The Reichswehr's size and composition was strictly controlled by the Allies in the hope that by restricting its constitution they could prevent future German military aggression. The Reichswehr consisted of 100,000 men divided between a small standing army, the Reichsheer, and a small defensive navy, the Reichsmarine.
In 1933 the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) came to power and the infamous Third Reich was born . Two years later in 1935 the Treaty of Versailles was renounced and the Reichswehr became the Wehrmacht. The newly formed Wehrmacht would still consist of an army and a navy - the renamed Heer and Kriegsmarine, but a new airforce was born as well - the Luftwaffe .
The Heer initially consisted of 21 Divisional sized units and 3 Army Groups to control them, as well as numerous smaller formations. Between 1935 and 1945 this force grew to consist of hundreds of Divisions, dozens of Army Groups and thousands of smaller supporting units. Between 1939 and 1945 close to 13 million served in the Heer. Over 1.6 million were killed and over 4.1 million were wounded. Of the 7361 men awarded the initial grade of the highest German combat honor of WWII, the Knights Cross, 4777 were from the Heer making up 65% of the total awarded.
Between 1939 and 1945 the Heer bore the majority of six years worth of fierce combat, some of which was so fierce - as on the Eastern Front - humankind will likely never again see such fighting. Although not immune to the overtones of politics and the occasional brush with questionable actions, the vast majority of German Heer units served with great distinction across many thousands of miles of battlefields.
The Heer was defeated with the German capitulation on May 8th 1945, although some units continued to fight for a few days longer in fits of sporadic resistance, mainly against the Soviets in the East. The Allied Control Council passed a law formally dissolving the Wehrmacht on the 20th of August 1946, the official "death" date of the German Heer.

White Uniform Of The Third Reich
The NSDAP, SS, and all three branches of the Wehrmacht all had their own white summer tunics.
The Heer in fact had two: the alterer Art Reichswehr style, with stand collar and six buttons, and the newer model with laydown collar, eight buttons and French cuffs. At some point (1943?), wearing the collar unbuttoned with a tie was permitted.
The Luftwaffe jacket was identical in cut to the Tuchrock, four-button with roll collar and lapels. The Kriegsmarine jacket was very similar.
The SS (briefly) authorised the white summer jacket pictured on Himmler and buddies; this was cut the same as the black service tunic, with SS angled slash lower pockets and single shoulderboard.
Party officials had both single- and double-breasted white uniforms; they could be worn with either white or black trousers.
The white tunics of the Heer could be worn by between 1 April and 30 September for walking out, with the "small" mess dress on certain occasions and for sporting events, tournaments and races.
The white tunics of the Luftwaffe were also worn between 1 April and 30 September as a summer uniform but were also permitted to be worn outside of this period for office duty and within closed military installations, but only with grey-blue trousers and without collar patches.
The white tunics of the Kriegsmarine were worn in hot climates as part of tropical service dress.
