Description: Genuine Original WW2 Germany Allies Propaganda Leaflet * * Addressed to Kampgruppe Kentner, a battle group from 266th ID that was sent to Normandy soon after the invasion began, and which fought near St-Lo. The division was largely destroyed by Allied forces, including the 4th U.S. Armored Division, during the battles at Saint-Malo in July 1944. Small parts of the 266th Division escaped into the besieged Atlantic pockets in Brittany. With the fall of Brest on 19 September, the last remnants of the division were neutralized. The 266th Infantry Division was formally dissolved on 29 September 1944. The 266th Infantry Division was formed on 20 May 1943 at Münsingen military base in Wehrkreis V. It was assembled using recruits from all over southern Germany as a static (i.e. non-motorized) division. The battalions and detachments initially reported to the division headquarters on 15 June and deployment was completed by 1 August.
