Overview
The Volkssturm was a national militia established as a last ditch attempt to defend Germany against the Allied forces who are closing in on German territory.

The Volkssturm were ill-equipped due to Germany's almost depleted resources and lacked an official uniform, to combat the latter problem, they wore an armband similar to ones worn by members of the Nazi Party. For the former, they scavenged for any usable weapon they can find, however this proved to be a problem due to different cartridges the weapons used.

In-game, the Volkssturm War Hero Kit depicts a high-ranking member of the militia. The kit includes the Volkssturmgewehr VG 1-5, a cheap to manufacture assault rifle that used a rotary bolt mechanism. And the Volkssturm War Hero uniform.
