History
|
The formation of this division was ordered 4.05.45 in northern Holland, as a
Feld-Ausbildungs-Division, or field-training division, using parts of the
Fallschirm-Jäger-Ersatz und Ausbildungs-Division and from
Fallschirm-Sturm-Brigade Gericke. No part of the division is included in the
Feldpostübersicht, so only few details are known about it, and its
ultimate fate is unknown.
