Previous to the former posts which give you good links concerning German Artillery Divisions, the 18th Artillery Division was main German artillery division of WW2, formed in September 1943 from the remains of the disbanded 18th Panzer Division. The division was eventually disbanded itself in August 1944.
The other German Artillery divisions were 309th-312th inc formed from Higher Arko's in November 1943. The divisions were disbanded in July 1944.
Later in the war several Volks Artillery Korps were formed and 12 Artillery Brigades were formed after August 1944.

Re: Artillerie Divisionen
Thanks to both of you
I already know the sources above. My main interest is on the OoB and how these Divisions were employed in battle.
