The 702nd Infantry Division (German : 702. Infanterie-Division) was an infantry division of the German Heer during World War II.
The 702nd Infantry Division was formed on 16 April 1941 as part of the fifteenth Aufstellungswelle in Schwerin in Wehrkreis II (Stettin). [1] Like other divisions of the fifteenth wave, the 702nd only consisted of two instead of the standard three infantry regiments. The formation of the 702nd marked the contribution of Wehrkreis II following an order on 13 April 1941 that demanded each Wehrkreis to raise two regiments, for a total of thirty from the fifteen military districts. It initially consisted of the Infantry Regiments 722 and 742. [2]
The division was sent to occupied Norway in May 1941. Starting in June, it was deployed in northern Norway in the Trondheim area, where it remained for the rest of the war. It performed the duties of a coastal garrison force. For a short while during the year 1942, the 702nd's Infantry Regiment 742 was attached to the 181st Infantry Division. [3] In April 1945, the 702nd Infantry Division was equipped for combat through the addition of a Panzerjäger battalion and the extension of the attached artillery detachment, 662, into the Artillery Regiment 702.

It was first deployed in 1941 and was active as part of various armies under Army Group Centre until 1944, when it was destroyed during the Soviet Red Army operations Bagration and Kutuzov in June and July 1944. The corps suffered enormous casualties as a result of the Soviet attacks. All of its divisions were destroyed and all but a few of the soldiers were killed or captured by the Soviet Union. A new formation named LIII Army Corps was subsequently deployed in December 1944, when it was assigned to Seventh Army and fought on the western front until surrendering to United States Army forces in April 1945.

The planned regiments 1031, 1032 and 1033 were not established.
