The 95th Infantry Division (German: 95. Infanterie-Division) was a German division in World War II. It was formed on 19 September 1939 in Wildflecken and Hammelburg.
On 22 June 1944, the day of the Red Army's Operation Bagration, the 95th Infantry Division was in the reserves of 3rd Panzer Army.[1]
The division was destroyed in June 1944 near Vitebsk. On 10 September 1944, a newly formed 95th Division was placed under command of the defeated army group Mitte in East Prussia. In the winter of 1944 it fought at Tauroggen and the Memel, until it surrendered in April 1945 at Pillau and the Hel Peninsula.
