The 57th Infantry Division (German: 57. Infanterie-Division) was a German division in World War II. It was formed on 26 August 1939 in Landshut.
The 57th Infantry Division was formed in August 1939 as part of the second wave of German infantry divisions. During the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, the division remained in the Saarland.
The division was moved into Poland as an occupational force in August 1940 until the initiation of Operation Barbarossa in June 1941. The division took part in the campaign as part of Army Group South, where it assaulted Kiev.
