25. Infanterie division

[Freggel]

Hello

for one of my research activities I am looking for more information about the locations of the 25. Infanterie division.

The places mentionned in lexikon der wehrmacht and google searches don't give many results for this unit. And the books about this division don't seem to be widespread. I hope somebody has one of these books or a wehrpass of one of the units.

I am interested in places ( town/city names ) with or without dates where they were active in the westfeldzug and the ostfeldzug till end march 1942.

I am especially interested in the places where the crossed or followed the important rivers: the Meuse, Marne, Loire and Dnjepr.

Every reply is appreciated

Give this a try. You can purchase a nice summary of the 25 ID taken from divisional records and other sources. Click on "Teil II" on the left and then find the 25 ID

Thanks for the answer, but I am considering another option.
I would need to buy both 25.ID and 25.ID(mot) for a total of 7,50€

Perhaps this book will be usefull.
For 20€ I can have this book and I have other items of others units between 1-50 ID. So does anybody have any experience with this book?
