The 232nd Infantry Division was formed on 26 June 1944 in Wehrkreis IX as a division of the twenty-seventh Aufstellungswelle. It was formed at Wildflecken military exercise base from the Wildflecken Shadow Division, which had also been used to replenish the 715th Infantry Division early in the month of June 1944. The 232nd Infantry Division initially consisted of the Grenadier Regiments 1043, 1044 and 1045, as well as the Artillery Regiment 232.[1] The division's only commander throughout its service was Eccard von Gablenz.[2]
In August 1944, the division was deployed in the reserves of Armee-Abteilung Ligurien in the Italian theater.[1] By February 1945, the division fought in the Apennine Mountains as part of LI Mountain Corps.[2]
The 232nd Infantry Division surrendered to American forces in the area between Brescia and Milan.[1]
