The 34. Infanterie-Division was formed in April 1936 in Koblenz and mobilized in August 1939 as part of the 1. Welle (wave). It manned defensive positions in the Saarpfalz in 1939 and later participated in the invasion of France. It took part in the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 and saw continuous combat there for almost three years. After suffering heavy losses in the relief of the Cherkassy pocket and in the fighting at Uman, it was refitted in May 1944 as part of the 26. Welle from Schatten-Division Neuhammer. Transferred to Italy in July 1944, the division surrendered there in April 1945.
