Infantry Division Ferdinand von Schill

The Infantry Division Ferdinand von Schill (German: Infanterie-Division Ferdinand von Schill) was an infantry division of the German Wehrmacht during World War II.

The division was named after the Prussian commander at the Battle of Stralsund of 1809, Ferdinand von Schill (1776–1809).

Müller held the rank of Oberstleutnant (lieutenant colonel) and thus deviated from the typical Wehrmacht divisional commander in that he was not a general.

Its deployment was so late in the war that it does not even appear in the listings of the German military postal service.

[2] At the end of the war, Infantry Division Ferdinand von Schill initially surrendered to American forces, but was handed over to the Soviets.
