Starting may 10 1940, 9.ID crossed Luxembourg into Belgium with the first major battles around Amiens and at the Somme. It then crossed the Oise river and was one of the first units to march into Paris. In June 1941 it was moved into action on the eastern front fighting at Mosastyr and broke through the Stalinlinie. It was well occupied until 1943 when it was ordered to defend the Kuban bridgehead. 9. October 1944 the division was reformed into the 9. Volksgrenadier Division which was moved west and soon to be put into battle during the Ardennes offensive. On 24. December 1944 the division assembled in Manderscheid where it was sent into the offensive fighting at Bastogne, Wilz and Vianden.
