Unit Emblems Lineage Traditions Absorbed Mobilized Campaigns Notable Points Fate History The 12.Grenadier-Division was formed in August of 1944 at Truppenbungsplatz Gruppe from the original 12.Infanterie-Division after it was destroyed while in the region of Armeegruppe Mitte in June, 1944. The designation of 12.Grenadier was only temporary as it was redesignated as the 12.Volksgrenadier-Division in October, 1944. It is notable that this re-fitted formation was, in the fifth year of the war, not only established with a strength of some 14,800 men, but was also fully equipped - a very rare circumstance considering the late stage of the conflict, and Germany's dwindling resources.
