History

The 301st Infantry Division was formed in August 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II, from Netze Brigade, a frontier guard brigade that consisted of two frontier guard regiments.[1] There, Netze Brigade had served as part of

the 12th Frontier Guard Command.[2]

During the Invasion of Poland, the 301st Infantry Division fought skirmish actions in the Küstrin area.[2][3][4]

On 14 October 1939, after the conclusion of the invasion, the 301st Infantry Division was dissolved.[1]
