430th Infantry Division
Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 430th Infantry Division for Special Deployment (German: 430. Infanterie-Division z.b.V.) was an infantry division of the Heer, the ground forces of the German Wehrmacht, during World War II. The division was active from October 1939 to July 1940. Its structure diverged immensely from the usual German infantry division, as it was used mainly to oversee guard battalions and did not contain its own dedicated infantry regiments, as infantry divisions usually did.
