The 272nd Volksgrenadier Division (more accurately Volks-Grenadier Division), was a German Army Volksgrenadier division formed following the defeats of the Normandy Campaign in 1944. Composed of men taken from existing Heer (army) units and airmen and sailors retasked to infantry duties, the division fought on the retreating Western Front until it was largely encircled in the Ruhr Pocket in April 1945.
