The unit was first sent to defend Aachen and saw heavy fighting for the Hürtgenwald. Mid november the division saw heavy action at Stolberg, Hastenrath and Eschweiler which was his hometown and probably the area he was wounded as well. The division was then merged with the 47 Volksgrenadier Division because of heavy losses on 25.11.44. Two days later US troops breached the line near Inden. Late November they were pulled from the line near Merode and sent for rest and refit between Jülich and Düren. Starting 14.12.44 it was moved to Hallschlag and Scheidt in preparation for the Ardennes Offensive. The first line of troops consisted of Grenadier Regiment 48 and Füsilier Regiment 27. The offensive started from Losheimergraben and on 17.12.44 they started opening the road from Büllingen trough Bütgenbach to Malmedy. The attack stalled at Bütgenbach until the 25.12.44. The division was moved to Hierlot where it severed heavy losses in January 1945 consisting of only 600 battle ready troops. It was sent to the Rhine between Leverkusen and Knapsack. In march 1945 it was sent to the Remagen bridgehead and shortly after it capitulated to the American troops in the Ruhrkessel.
