The German 218th Infantry Division (218.''Infanterie-Division'') was a major military unit of the German Army that served in World War II. It was organised along the standard lines for a German infantry division, and had about 15.000 men, 48 guns in its artillery regiment, and mobility was provided mainly by horse-drawn vehicles, it had about 5,000 horses. Its men moved predominately on foot.
The 218th Infantry served in the Invasion of Poland as a reserve division for the 4th Army. Subsequently it was moved to the west facing the Maginot line, which it attacked in May 1940 under the leadership of 7th Army. Following a period of occupation duty and also briefly a return to civilian life, its soldiers were sent to Russia in the winter of 1941. It remained on the Eastern Front until the end of the war, retreating with Army Group North back through the Baltic states, until the Army group was trapped in Courland. The 218th Infantry Division, still in Courland, surrendered to the Soviets on 8 May 1945.
