The German 100th Light Infantry Division (later reformed as the 100th Jäger Division) was deployed in the southern sector of the Eastern Front, the Crimea, the Caucasus, the Carpathian Mountains and the Balkans. The formation was the only Jäger Division that fought at Stalingrad where it was destroyed. The division was reestablished and fought partisans in the Balkans, Croatia, Albania, and was deployed on coastal protection missions in the Strait of Otranto.
