On September 24, 1944, the 6. Fallschirmjager Division was ordered to be re-strengthened. Due to the division's destruction in France, this re-strengthening had to be carried out as a new formation.
The formation took place in the Kleve-Geldern-Moers area, with elements in the Netherlands near Elden, Meppel, and Coevorden.
The division's soldiers were primarily drawn from Luftwaffe ground units, air communications regiments, and anti-aircraft units.
