707th Infantry Division (Wehrmacht) → 707th Security Division (Wehrmacht) – Better known as a security division, please see link Google books. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:27, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

However, that opinion is not supported by the sources used as references in the article. There is a 2002 article pointing to a set of file in an Bavarian archive which mentions a "707. Sicherungsdivision" (Lieb 2002, p.531 Fn44). A German "707th Security Division" is indeed mentioned in a 1950 pamphlet (No. 20-230) , which seems to be at the root of this erroneous view. There briefly was a 707th Security Battalion in 1942 though.

707th Infantry Division was the most frequently used title in the articles I consulted in researching the article Nick-D (talk) 09:37, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
