  • The 18th Artillery Division was formed by the Stab (Staff) from remaining parts of the disbanded 18th Panzer Division on October 1, 1943. This was the first artillery division planned as an independent and mobile artillery force and a part of Aufstellungsbefehls. The ideal structure for the division was never achieved. It was formed from an infantry assault-gun and armored observation company (with four medium tanks). This formation was reinforced with an infantry rifle battalion which had the task of defending the division. The division was part of the 1st Panzer Army, it was in action until late March 1944, when it was encircled in the Kamenez-Podolsky pocket. It managed to break through but it lost all of its heavy equipment. Until November 4, 1944, it was engaged in mostly infantry battles; due to heavy casualties the division ceased to exist. It was listed as an integral part of the official Kriegsgliederung in April 1944 for the last time [Kampfgruppe 18. Art.Div. per 15.4.44]. The division was formally disbanded on July 27, 1944. Its remaining officers and men was used to form Generalkommando Panzer-Grenadier-Division Großdeutschland and the artillery regiments were to become Heeres-Artillerie-Brigaden.
