The remaining soldiers of the 3rd battalion, i.e. the "Deutsche-Arabische Lehr-Abteilung", who had not been sent to North Africa, were used, together with Muslims from French North Africa, to form the "German-Arab Battalion 845" in the summer of 1943. It served in the Peloponnese region of Greece as part of the 41st Fortress Division from November 1943. It participated in the Greek partisan war, specifically against ELAS. In October 1944, it was withdrawn from Greece to Yugoslavia, and in early 1945 was strengthened with the addition of Arabs from a battalion of Arab volunteers that was disbanded before it was fully formed. It ended the war near Zagreb as part of the 104th Jäger Division.
