History

The 65.Infanterie-Division was an army unit formed in June of 1942. It was stationed in the region of Antwerp on coastal security duty until the summer of 1943 when it was transfered to Italy. It fought the rest of the war in Italy, notably against the Allies in the Anzio-Nettuno bridgehead. The division was overcome by American forces in the last weeks of the war, and portions were also taken by the British.
