Let G be the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group. A discrete subgroup of Isom(G), acting freely on G with non-compact quotient, must be isomorphic to either 1, Z, Z2 or the fundamental group of the Klein bottle. We classify all discrete representations of such groups into Isom(G) up to affine conjugacy. This yields an affine calssification of 3-dimensional non-compact infra-nilmanifolds.

We study free actions of finite nonabelian groups on 3-dimensional nilmanifolds with the first homology ${\mathbb{Z}}^2{\bigoplus}{\mathbb{Z}}_2$ which yield an orbit manifold reversing fiber orientation, up to topological conjugacy. We show that those nonabelian groups are $D_4$(the dihedral group), $Q_8$(the quaternion group), and $C_8.C_4$(the $1^{st}$ non-split extension by $C_8$ of $C_4$ acting via $C_4/C_2=C_2$).

We show that if a finite group G acts freely with homotopically trivial translations on a 3-dimensional nilmanifold 𝓝_p with the first homology ℤ² ⊕ ℤ_p, then either G is cyclic or there exist finite nonabelian groups acting freely on 𝓝_p which yield orbit manifolds homeomorphic to 𝓝/𝜋₃ or 𝓝/𝜋₄.
