Mission Brief
Wehrmacht mountain infantry — masters of Scandinavia's unforgiving terrain.
The 163rd Infantry Division was a Wehrmacht formation that served primarily in Scandinavia from 1940 through the end of the war, playing a pivotal role in the occupation and defense of Norway. Following the lightning German invasion of Norway in April 1940, the division established itself as a specialist unit in mountain and arctic warfare across the rugged Norwegian highlands and fjords.
Operating in some of the most demanding terrain and climate of any WWII theater, the 163rd's soldiers mastered ski warfare, mountain logistics, and cold-weather combat — skills that shaped Wehrmacht doctrine for northern operations. The division remained in Norway until the German capitulation in May 1945, holding positions across a front that stretched hundreds of kilometers.
Ideal for WWII collectors and military history enthusiasts aged 12 and up.
Recreate the forgotten front of World War II — the battle for the high north.
