The 91. Infanterie-Division was formed in January 1944 and in March 1944 is was redesignated Infanterie-Division (Luftlande). Although earmarked and equipped for air landing operations, the division was transferred to Normandy in May 1944 where it formed part of the static defenses of the Cotentin Peninsula. The division was strengthened by the attachment of Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 6 and Panzer-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Abteilung 100. The division was destroyed near Cherbourg on 22 June 1944 and disbanded on 10 August 1944.
A planned reformation of the 91. Infanterie-Division from a Kampfgruppe was cancelled on 5 November 1944. The 344. Infanterie-Division was formed in its place.
