| NOTES:
[1] The Headquarters, 201st Division, was an ad-hoc formation, not featured in the peace time order of battle.
It was raised to command further occupation forces being sent to the East Front in late 1942.
[2] When the Headquarters, 201st Division was finally dissolved, most of the units under its
command – including the 41st Inf. Rgt. – were amalgamated into the 18th Reserve Division.
The 42nd Inf. Rgt. was turned over to the 23rd Reserve Division.
