Infanterie-Division) in Wehrmacht documents, was an infantry division of the German Heer during World War II.

[1] Formed on 26 August 1939 during German mobilization and shortly before the Invasion of Poland, the unit that would become the 153rd division was initially designated Commander of Reserve Troops III and served as the training division and administrative body for recruits from Wehrkreis III (Berlin).

[2] The remaining replacements were moved for additional training to 463rd Division and the fighting units of the 153rd then transferred to Ukraine.

[1] The inadequately equipped 153rd had been forced into action and called up from the army group's reserves by the commanding general of XXX Army Corps, Georg-Wilhelm Postel, when Postel found himself unable to close the gaps left by retreating Romanian units.

[3] On 20 August, the XXIX Army Corps was ordered to form a new front west of the Seret river.

[5] Some parts of the division's second iteration fled to Bulgaria, but were then delivered into Soviet captivity by the Bulgarian leadership.

[7] The 153rd Field Training Division was deployed for a third iteration in October 1944 in the German rear area.

On 8 May, the day of German surrender, the 153rd Grenadier Division was captured by Soviet forces at Německý Brod.
