History
|
The 1.Marine-Infanterie-Division was formed in February of 1945 in Stettin
from Marine-Schützen-Brigade Nord.
For some reason, the division has different designations in various
documents: The 1.Marine-Schützen-Division in the Schematische
Kriegsgliederung, the 1.Marine-Division in the Feldpostübersicht, and the
1.Marine-Infanterie-Division in the despatches sent from the division
to Kriegsmarine HQ. The correct designation for this unit is 1.Marine-Infanterie-Division.
The 1.Marine-Infanterie-Division was organised like a normal Heer division of
the "neuer Art 45" type.
