The regimental history is hard to find
Dr. Walter Ohmler: Weg und Schicksal des Infanterie-Regiments 82 im 2. Weltkrieg 1939 - 1945, Eigenverlag, Moringen 1986
and there is the Divisional history:
Rolf Hinze: Geschichte der 31. Infanterie-Division, Verlag Hinze, Meerbusch 1997
Löwen-Division. 31. Infanterie- und Grenadierdivision, 31. Volksgrenadierdivision Taschenbuch – 1. Januar 1997
look here: https://www.amazon.de/L%C3%B6wen-Div.../dp/3928322087 -
