352 Infanterie Division was only formed in November 1943 at St. Lo, from the inactived 321 Infanterie Division cadre with most of its recruits from the 1925 and 1926 classes. It had considerable problems in regards training and by March 1944 it had only conducted three firing exercises and troops had only thrown two training hand grenades.

It was hampered by spending so much time on construction work on the beach defences. In average the recruits spent nine hours per day on building work.
