Description (Google translate from german):
The 9th State Riflemen's Replacement Battalion was established on February 20, 1940, in Kassel, Military District IX. The battalion was subordinate to Division 409. After its establishment, the battalion was relocated to Mühlhausen in the same Military District IX. On October 1, 1942, the battalion was divided into the 9th State Riflemen's Replacement Battalion and the 9th State Riflemen's Training Battalion. On April 8, 1943, these two units were combined in Frankfurt am Main, also in Military District IX, to form the 9th State Riflemen's Replacement and Training Battalion. On June 20, 1944, the 2nd/9th State Riflemen's Replacement and Training Battalion was established in Giessen, Military District IX. The new battalion was formed from the 355th Grenadier Replacement Battalion and was also subordinate to Division 409. This deployment necessitated the renaming of the former Landesschützen-Ersatz-Bataillon 9 to Landesschützen-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Bataillon I./9 on June 21, 1944. On July 9, 1944, the Landesschützen-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Bataillon I./9 was split into a Landesschützen-Ersatz-Bataillon I./9 and a Landesschützen-Ausbildungs-Bataillon II./9. The Ersatz-Bataillon I./9 remained stationed in Frankfurt am Main. The Ausbildungs-Bataillon I./9 was relocated to Charleroi in Belgium and, after the withdrawal in the autumn, was distributed among the units of the 275th Infantry Division. The Ersatz-Bataillon I./9 was renamed Landesschützen-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Bataillon I./9 on November 7, 1944, and was stationed in Thuringia. The subordination of the Landesschützen Replacement and Training Battalion I./9 changed to Division 469 on 11 November 1944.
