6th SS Mountain Division Nord - 1942/1943

1942/1943

The rebuilt Division was called into action against the Soviet spring offensive in 1942 and this time managed to hold its lines. Throughout the rest of 1942 and through 1943 it remained on the Kestenga front, which was quiet compared to other areas of the Eastern Front. In September 1942, the unit was remnamed the SS Gebirgs-Division "Nord" (SS Mountain Division "Nord") and in October 1943 became the 6th SS Gebirgs-Division "Nord".
