Colonel General Eduard Dietl with his helferinnen (female auxilliaries)

Helferinnen were utilised in a support role in all branches of the Wehrmacht particularly in the role of signals (communication) personnel.

Note the cuff-titles worn by these Helferinnen, though photo is not clear they are most likely Stabshelferin (staff auxilliaries)

Eduard Dietl (1890 - 1944) was a Generaloberst (Colonel General) who commanded 20th Mountain Army. He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords of Nazi Germany.

History of the 78th Wehrmacht Infantry Division

This division was founded in August 1939 in Stuttgart and was immediately staffed by citizens called up from the province of Baden-Württemberg. The division participated in the invasion of France and spent the summer of 1940 until the spring of 1941 in the occupied territories.

Thereafter, it was transferred to the Eastern Front as part of the Army Group Center and participated in battles near Minsk. From the end of October to mid-December 1941, the division fought as part of the 9th Army Corps operated near Moscow.

In 1943, it fought in the battles on the Kursk.

In June-July 1944, the division defended a strategically important road from Moscow to Minsk. During these fights, the division was almost completely wiped out when it was surrounded by the enemy. In October 1944, it was renamed the Volksgrenadier division and again at the start of 1945 to the Volkssturm division. The division surrendered in May 1945 near Olomouc.
