In late 1944 Grenadier-Regiment 19 was the inheritor of the regimental traditions of the disbanded Infanterie Regiment 199 of the 57. Infanterie Division. It was given the honorific title "Infanterie Regiment List" denoting that the regiment carried on the traditions of the original Imperial Bavarian Regiment 16 in which Hitler had served as a Gefreiter during World War I. Members of Grenadier-Regiment 19 were allowed to wear a cuff title on their left sleeve (a 3.2cm wide dark green cloth band with grey-white edging and a so-called "copper-plate" style lettering with the words "Infanterie Regiment List"). It was one of the very few Heer Regiments so entitled.
