148th Reserve Division (Germany)
- 148th Reserve Division (Germany)
The German 148th Reserve Division (German: "148. Reserve-Division") was a German reserve infantry division during the Second World War, made up of three infantry regiments (281st, 285th, and 286th) and an artillery regiment.
History
The division was used as an occupation force in southern France and fought in Italy in 1944 and 1945, fighting in the Po River battles and surrendering to the Brazilian Expeditionary Corps on April 29, 1945 near the city of Fornovo.
By that time it was commanded by General Otto Fretter-Pico and had some 9,000 soldiers. Despite the still strong manpower, and the fact that it had more than 100 mortars and cannons, the division was by this time very low on ammunition and supplies.
