325th Security Division (Wehrmacht)

The 325th Security Division was a German security division of the Wehrmacht during World War II. It was primarily deployed in occupied territories, mainly on the Eastern Front, with a focus on rear-area security operations. These operations included combating partisans (anti-German resistance fighters), protecting supply lines, and maintaining order within the occupied areas. The division was formed in December 1942 and was active until the end of the war. Like other security divisions, the 325th was often involved in war crimes against the civilian population as part of its anti-partisan warfare activities. The division's structure typically included infantry regiments, artillery, and support units. Its composition and deployment shifted during the war as operational needs changed. Details on its specific war crimes and areas of operation can be found in historical records related to Wehrmacht activities on the Eastern Front. Following the war, members of the division would have been subject to investigation and prosecution for war crimes.
