    History This division was formed 3.20.45 at Assen in northern Holland, as a Feld-Ausbildungs-Division, or field-training division. Its formation was not completed as planned, and instead of Assen, most units went to Oldenburg. It was partially formed from the Fallschirm-Jäger-Ausbildungs- und Ersatz-Division. No part of the division is listed in the Feldpostübersicht though, so only a few details are known about this unit, and its ultimate fate is a mystery.
