1st Bulgarian Waffen Grenadier Regiment

Description
ABOUT
This mod aims to recreate the bulgarian volunteers from Bulgarisches Nr. 1.
The regiment was made up of volunteering bulgarian workers and soldiers who did not agree with their government's decision to change their allegiance to the Allies. Only small numbers of pro-german bulgarians were able to join outside Bulgaria, including some from the 5th Army engaged in the occupation of Yugoslavia. The formation fought initially in occupied territories in Yugoslavia and Greece, in the corps under the command of General Friedrich-Wilhelm Müller. They fought to protected the retreat of the German Army Group E in the Vardar valley. Most of the volunteers were attached to German military units in the late 1944.The unit pledged allegiance to Aleksandar Tsankov's Bulgarian government-in-exile. Morale was not very high. Soldiers were forced to plant potatoes in a nearby field due to ration shortages. The regiment was transferred to the Eastern front of Germany in January 1945, participating in the Battle of the Oder–Neisse against soviet troops. The unit was re-equipped with anti-tank weaponry in April 1945 and renamed the SS Tank Destroyer Regiment. At that time a group of soldiers made an attempt to desert. They were hunted down and caught and a firefight ensued, in which three deserters were killed. At the onset of the Allies in early May, the regiment disbanded itself.

As sources were used different history websites and the book ''Romanian Volunteers of the Waffen-SS 1944-1945''.

KNOWN ISSUE
You are gonna encounter some error pop ups, but I made sure that none of them affect the mod, just ignore them.
There are classes you don't need in [DE]Heer faction.
The panzerfaust 30 and 60 doesn't change their models to the empty one after firing. If you want to use them with that detail, use the ones from IFA.
