WW1 Imperial German Army (Deutsches Heer)
Welcome to Grenadier Militaria International online militaria antiques store we stock authentic WW1 German Imperial Army Militaria and Collectables from 1914 – 1948.
During World War I, the German Empire was one of the Central Powers that lost the war. It began participation in the conflict after the declaration of war against Serbia by its ally, Austria-Hungary.
