 With the expansion of the elite "Großdeutschland" Infantry Regiment into a division on 3 March 1942, the number of subunits under its control was expanded.Among these subunits was a new "Führerbegleit"-unit, as well as another unit with "Führer" in its name, the "Führergrenadierabteilung"..Although the new "Führerbegleit"-unit had practically the same purpose as the original and still-existing "Führerbegleit"battalion, and was approximately the same size, it was different from the FBB in that it was motorized.
