12.Luftwaffen-Feld-Division was formed at the end of 1942 from Flieger-Regiment 12 and assigned to Army Group North in early 1943. It was transferred to the German Army on 1 November 1943. To better distinguish it in post-war literature, the division is called 12.Feld-Division(L); however, an official renaming did not occur. The division suffered heavy losses during the retreat from Leningrad. It took part in the retreat to Latvia and in the battles of the Courland Pocket.
