97th Jäger Division ( Wehrmacht ) The 97th Jäger Division was a German Infantry Division during World War II .

It was transferred to Slovakia in October 1944 and surrendered to the Red Army near Brod in May 1945 . Background . The main purpose of the German " Jäger " Divisions was to fight in adverse terrain where smaller , coordinated units were more facilely combat - capable than the brute force offered by the standard infantry divisions . The " Jäger " divisions were more heavily equipped than mountain divisions , but not as well armed as a larger infantry division . In the early stages of the war , they were the interface divisions fighting in rough terrain and foothills as well as urban areas , between the mountains and plains . The " Jägers " ( hunters in German ) , relied on a high degree of training and slightly superior communications , as well as their not inconsiderable artillery support . In the middle stages of the war , as the standard infantry divisions were down sized , the " Jäger " model with two infantry regiments came to dominate the standard tables of organization . In 1943 , Adolf Hitler declared that all infantry divisions were now Grenadier Divisions except for his elite Jäger and Mountain Jäger divisions .
