History

It was formed and first stationed in Seltsy.[2] It was relocated to Laptevo near Smolensk in January 1944, where it joined the 1st Tadeusz Kościuszko Infantry Division.[2]

It fought near Vistula and Warsaw, in Pomerania and in the Battle of Berlin. It was mostly disbanded during reorganization in 1956, with traditions inherited by the 2nd Warsaw Mechanized Division (itself based also on the 7th Infantry Division).
