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

[3][4] 228th Infantry Division remained with XXI Army Corps only for the first few days of the campaign, for the action in the Danzig Corridor, including the Battle of Grudziądz against the Polish 4th and 16th Infantry Divisions.

The German forces were victorious, but their Polish counterparts managed to withdraw to the southeast in an orderly fashion.

[5] 228th Infantry Division was then removed from XXI Army Corps when Falkenhorst's units were transferred via East Prussia to another active front sector.

[6] Although 228th Infantry Division was initially intended to see combat in the Battle of France in 1940, this did not come to pass, as the German victory of the French came sooner than expected.
