It later took part in the assault that caused the fall of this giant Soviet naval fortress; it was subsequently transferred to the Northern Sector of the eastern front for the attacks on Leningrad but was tied down in heavy defensive fighting instead. Later it faced the Russian winter offensive of 1942/43 and successfully defended a sector of the German corridor east of Leningrad against heavy Soviet attacks. The division remained with Amy Group North throughout 1943 and suffered heavy losses when the Russians finally broke the Siege of Leningrad in January 1944. In July 1944 the 170th Infanterie-Division was transferred to the Central Sector to help check the Russian summer offensive, but had little impact stemming the Russian offensive. Late 1944 the 170th Infanterie-Division was transferred back to the Northern Sector, where it took part in the retreating battles in Latvia. The division was forced into the Kurland pocket; here it remained until the end of the war.

3.Kompanie./Kranken-Transportabteilung 602.
1). Krimschild, dated 22/12/1942. Facsimile signature of Generalfeldmarschal Erich von Manstein.
The Krankentransport Abteilungen served for the appropriate distribution and repatriation of patients. They were in each case in the position to establish up to six patient collecting points (Krankensammelstellen) where "a sifting" of the patients took place. It was specified whether the patients should be moved on the military hospitals of the army and/or army group or into the homeland. In addition shipping the patients in individual means of transport (course, airplane, ship) and the organization and the equipment of additional means of transport was incumbent on the Krankentransport Abteilungen, e.g. from provisional wounding courses. Further they had to make the distribution of the patients due to their bed plan on the war military hospitals of the army and army group.
