311th Infantry Division (Wehrmacht)
The 311th Infantry Division was established on November 1, 1939 in East Prussia in Second World War from the Genesenen group Brand and the Lötzen Brigade, which were used by the 3rd Army.
After its deployment, the division remained at the Arys military training area in East Prussia. On March 8, 1940, the division was completely reclassified. At the beginning of the Battle of France, the second phase of the western campaign, the division was moved to the Grafenwoehr Training Area on June 9, 1940. The IV battalions of the infantry regiments formed in January 1940 were handed over here. The IV Infantry Regiment 247 became field replacement battalion 311. As a result of the rapid end of the western campaign, the 311st Infantry Division was dissolved on August 7, 1940.
