The division was formed in March 1945 in the Netherlands, out of troops from the disbanded Fallschirmjäger Ausbildungs-und-Ersatz-Division, commanded by Walter Barenthin. It contained the 58th, 59th and 60th Fallschirmjäger Regiments, and the 20th Fallschirmjäger Artillery Regiment.[1]
The division did not manage to form fully before the end of the war, and did not see combat.[1]

gollark: YouTube uses 128kbps Opus.
gollark: Low meaning "<16kbps or so".
gollark: If you can afford really high bitrates FLAC is better because it's lossless, and at low ones it's apparently beaten by other stuff.
gollark: Opus is very cool because it is open/not patented or whatever and the best available codec for everything except really high or really low bitrates.
gollark: MP3 is apparently "transparent", i.e. sounds the same as uncompressed audio, at 256kbps or so, Opus at lower ones.
