Infanterie-Division) was an infantry division of the German Heer during World War II.
The 702nd Infantry Division was formed on 16 April 1941 as part of the fifteenth Aufstellungswelle in Schwerin in Wehrkreis II (Stettin).
[1] Like other divisions of the fifteenth wave, the 702nd only consisted of two instead of the standard three infantry regiments.
The formation of the 702nd marked the contribution of Wehrkreis II following an order on 13 April 1941 that demanded each Wehrkreis to raise two regiments, for a total of thirty from the fifteen military districts.
Starting in June, it was deployed in northern Norway in the Trondheim area, where it remained for the rest of the war.
