The 16th Infantry Division of the German Army was created in 1934 as '' Kommandant von Münster''. In October 1935 the division was renamed ''16. Infanterie-Division''. On 26 August 1939 the division was mobilized for the invasion of Poland (1939). It participated in the Battle of France in 1940. The division was then split, also in 1940, resulting in two independent lineages: The 16th Panzer Division and the 16th Motorized Infantry Division. The latter, from 1944 onward, combined with other non 16th elements, was known as the 116th Panzer Division. ==Commanding officers== *''Generaloberst'' Gotthard Heinrici *''Generalleutnant'' Heinrich Krampf, 1 February 1940 *''Generaloberst'' Hans-Valentin Hube, 1 June 1940 *''General der Infanterie'' Friedrich-Wilhelm von Chappuis, 1 November 1940 *''General der Panzertruppen'' Sigfrid Henrici *''Generalleutnant'' Johannes Streich *''General der Panzertruppen'' Sigfrid Henrici, November 1941 *''General der Panzertruppen'' Gerhard von Schwerin, 13 November 1942 *''Generalmajor'' Wilhelm Crisolli, 20 May 1943 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「16th Infantry Division (Wehrmacht)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
