| NOTES:
[1] Although the division was removed from the order of battle, the dissolution of the formation itself was
only partially carried through.
The 1st Infantry Regiment – the House Regiment of Budapest – also remained in existence.
It was assigned on 01.10.1943 to the 25th Infantry Division as its third infantry regiment
in accordance with the Szabolcs Plan.
[2] The reduced-strength Headquarters, 1st Division and some of its service units were sent
to the East Front late 1942, and remained in existence there until April and May 1944,
when the units under the division command were amalgamated into the 5th, 12th and 23rd Reserve Divisions.
The headquarters was then dissolved.
