SS-Grenadier-Division "Nibelungen") was a World War II infantry division of the Waffen-SS, the military wing of the German Nazi Party.
The next day, American troops captured Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz in the Upper Palatinate and pushed German units back onto the Danube, where they still held bridgeheads.
[1][2] Until 28 April, the division offered fierce resistance to the advancing Americans, before the bulk of XIII SS Army Corps moved south towards Landshut, where the new defensive front was formed as the Isar river.
A combat group made up of members of the French SS Grenadier Training and Replacement Battalion joined the division in Moosburg an der Isar.
At the beginning of May, the division withdrew via Wasserburg am Bodensee and Lake Chiemsee towards Traunstein, only to surrender to American troops on 8 May 1945 in Reit im Winkl.
