It then saw action in Luxembourg , and was destroyed fighting American forces in March 1945 . - The Volkssturm ("people's storm") was a German national militia established during the last months of World War II. It was not set up by the "Wehrmacht Heer", the ground component of the combined German Wehrmacht armed forces, but by the Nazi Party on the orders of Adolf Hitler and its official existence was not announced until October 18, 1944. It was staffed by conscripting males between the ages of 16 and 60 years who were not already serving in some military unit as part of a German Home Guard.
