Some notes about my edits.

1) I'm not sure how close the ties to Grossdeutschland are, Tessin certainly only mentions one relation, that is that upon expansion to Division, Führer-Begleit received II/Panzer Regiment Grossdeutschland as it's own II/Panzer Regiment 102. Before that the Führer-Begleit-Brigade had drawn replacements from Grossdeutschland's Ersatz battalion.

2) Rommel's biography beyond the short time he commanded the FBB does not belong into this article.

3) No need to glorify the FB as an elite unit as that doesn't seem to be warranted from it's operational history. Though it's certainly true that it was seen as elite by Hitler and co.

4) The original article had no sources. My additions are all based on Tessin, mostly volume 14.
