History

It is not entirely known at this time if this unit was ever formed as such. Most allworks on German units make only a mention of its supposed parent unit, Division Nr. 413, but thereis some thought that in the last days of WWII Division Nr. 413 was transformed into the413.Infanterie-Division. If so, it only existed as an Infanterie-Division for a very short period of time. It is not known where itwould have seen service if it was indeed formed, although it is likely it fought the Soviets beforebeing destroyed by them in May of 1945.
