Formed February 1945
Mobilised on ?
Home, Garmisch
Not a great deal is known about this particular unit, It was
formed in 1942 in Norway and is believed to have comprised 142. and 144.
Gebirgs- Infanterie Regiments and Gebirgs-Artillerie Regiment 124, presumably
with the usual Panzerjäger, Pionier and Nachrichten support units.
It is not believed to have reached full strength, but saw action in the
far north of the Eastern Front until late 1944, when it was transferred
to Italy and saw action mainly in Northern Italy against the Allies in
the Bologna and Po valley area. At this time it numbered only around 3,00
men, and was on the Order of Battle of 10.Armee.
It surrendered in Italy in April 1945.
