German Orders of Battle
October 4, 1943
after the surrender of Italy

The German Orders of Battle and distribution of the divisions of the Wehrmacht and subordinated units of allies after the capitulation of Italy, 8 September 1943, and the following disarmament of the Italian troops and take over of their positions by German units.
The Orders of Battle includes also shattered divisions (described as remnant) as well as divisions under preparation.
Fortress divisions are officially designated 'not mobile' divisions, designated for the defense of coastal sections in the west.
Luftwaffe field divisions were raised from surplus ground crews and anti-aircraft soldiers of the Air Force to reinforce the army, but they were of little combat value because it's soldiers and officers had little experience in ground warfare.
Security divisions were used for the guarding and defense of bridges, railway lines and other important objects against partisans. Jager (hunter) divisions were light and mobile units for difficult terrain and were especially active in the fight against partisans.
It is noteworthy that many divisions at the southern and central sector of the Eastern Front have fallen far below their organisation strength since the tank battle of Kursk (July 1943), because nearly all German reserves were needed for the disarmament of the Italian army and the take-over of the Italian occupation zones, and to fight against the Anglo-Americans in Southern Italy. During this period, the headquarter of the German Wehrmacht expected also a further invasion at the Balkans, mainly in Greece. A successfull Allied landing there would have probably resulted in the surrender of also Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria and their change into the camp of the Western allies.
