The division was formed in September 1944 to replace the 363rd Infantry Division which was annihilated in the Falaise pocket, by redesignating the 566th Volksgrenadier Division, under the command of August Dettling. It contained the 957th, 958th and 959th Grenadier Regiments, and the 363rd Artillery Regiment.[1]
The division fought in the Netherlands and along the Roer River before finally being destroyed in the Ruhr pocket in April 1945.[1]

gollark: Well, on the extreme end, it would probably work to uninstall and reinstall Windows.
gollark: Although I don't think most boards include separate SATA controllers, so that is quite odd.
gollark: The port running directly off the CPU or chipset, presumably.
gollark: Maybe the port has some electrical failure. Maybe the controller's hardware for that port specifically is broken.
gollark: You don't need SQL. Just write to a file.
