This book could not possibly be the work of one person. It isthe result of the efforts of the Ordur of Battle sub-section of theOffice of the Theater Historian, Hq ETOUSA (Later USF:.T) This sub-section vwas conceived early in 1945 and was authorized to com iiencework in ;arch 1945 by Colonel S.L.A. 1iarshall, Theater Historian and

operated under the general direction of Lt Col Hugh ±.i Cole, DeputyTheater Historian.

All together some 33 persons worked directly on the research,

compilati6n, and production of this work, Among these, certain per-sons rendereddoutstanding and valuable service=, without which the

book would have never been completed. To CWO Mieyer M. Cahn goescredit for organizing the research projects and driving the produc-

PREFACE

"Order of Battle of the United States Army, World War II, Europ-ean Theater of Operations--Divisions"was prepared in the Office of theTheater Historian, Headquarters, United States Forces European Theater,to make available an accurate digest of important facts concerning thesixty-one (61) divisions assigned tothe European Theater.*

Presented in this volume are command and staff rosters, compos-ition of divisions, attachments and detachments, assignments and attach-ments to higher units, command post locations and pertinent statistics.With the exception of the lists of attachments and detachments whichcover only the period of combat, the material presented for each div-ision dates from its arrival in the European Theater to the end of host-ilities on 9 May 1.945. For units arriving from the North Afri can Theater,the record begins on 15 Aug 1944, the date of the invasion of SouthernFrance. Units which arrived in the European Theater after 9 May 1945 arenot dealt with in this volume.

The principal sources used were the historical records submittedby the units involved, chiefly the "After Action Reports" and support-ing documents. The research procedure for each section of the manuscriptdiffered, however and effort was made to use every document availablein the files of the Historical Section. These are specifically cited inthe explanatory notes below. In addition, as research on a division wascompleted as far as. existing records permitted, the draft manuscrptwas, wherever possible, submitted to the divi ion for correction andapproval. A file for each unit containing all .s, rk sheets and corre-spondence prepared in the course of the research has been retained andforwarded to the .Tar Department for reference.

The project here presented was originally undertaken prior toVE Day at the same time that the research and preparation of a seriesof narrative monograph histories of the war was begun.

• Not included are:1, Period of service of 1st Armd Div and 31th Div in UK in

1942 while based there preparatory to invasion of North Africa.2. Period of service of 1st Div in UK in 1942 and in North

Africa and editerranean areas in 1942-3.3. All divisions in North Africa during the period 8 Nov 1942

(Invasion date in North Africa) to 3 Feb 1943 (when North Africa Thca-ter of Operations was established as an independent command separatesfrom ETOUSA).

The primary intent o.f preparing an Order Af Battle then was to presentstatistical fmteri- i n convenient outlin. and tabular form for the

guidance of those ,xnr.gaged in more eixhustive research, It is fullyrecognized that a definitive order of battle t awai .t thec completionof research much more thorough than was possible: under the conditionslaid dovan for this project. .hat is presented here is in essence atabulati.on of each unit Ts own official record, cross checked againstother units' official records and in most cases specifically approvedby the unit!s histoibcal officer. 'No claim is made toi any nigher truththan a reproduction of the essentials of the official record, asaccurate as circur statnces perimitted.

Although the cardinal consideration in the preparation of thiswork was accuracy, it is realized that rmany inaccuracies still existin it. It was shaped up against a deadline in only six months, incontrast to the order of battle of J'orld ar i 1 which, with 1-4 fewerdivisions and 59 percent fewer combat .ays, ,'as not compl :eted until 12years after the end of hostilities. A large part of the research .orkand recording of facts was of niecessity performed by untrained Frenchcivilian personnel; the rate of turnover among them was hih and itwas never possible to supervise thieir work in detail. Because the jobwas undertaken during the. war and finished in the .theater ,i'thin afew months after cessation of hostiliest , records, especially ofunits rapidly redeployed or demobilized here, ere not always avai-lable,

But perhaps the most discouraging source of inaccuracy wasthe conflicting evidencet of various a.iy documehts themselves on thesamefsts. At one period of ;this study, the historical section wasin possession of three sets of figures showing the arrival dates ofdivisions ontthe continent, Eacha source would normaly be considereda satisfactoryr one. Agreement wvivs sought on 165 facts, but found ononly 75, Yet all the sour.es*purportedto beive. the same fact--thearrival date of division neadquarters.

It was soon recognize.d that the more figures available themore disagreement was invited, By the same token, however, it wasrealized that no sin le source could be accepted as va.lid. The onlysolution seemed to be to seek by the multiplicaton of sources somegeneral agreement, This vas usually found and then a specific choice,,as ma1de from the source which critical evaluation show:ed iost pro-bably, reliable,

Inaccuracy crept in .again in mteri.:l sub.itted by divisionsdirectly to the Theater Historian witout the ch eck tat mi.h.t havebeen given in the process o.f forwarding through co :mma;nd channels,Direct correspon..enoe w-ith the divisions furthermore vws often dif-ficult and unsatisfactory. The div'..si)on historian .i .. s frequentlyburdened with other duties as the Division Public Relatins Officer6r Information and Education Officer or operational member of theG-2 Section. when redeployment had reached its peak i .rifferent

historian might arswer eacn request for informat:'ion,

" Central i acnine lecords tUnit, iHq ETOUSA.; IHq 12th Army Group;

..Adijutant Gnermal of eah. ,ivi.ison.

For these and'posbsibly other 'rea'ons information submitted bythe divisions was often less reliable .and..complete than could have ,beendesired. When drafts were sent for review, .they were sometimesreturned withiouit correction,, even though it was known that, inaccurciesexisted .Sometimes, careles.sjlr corrected, information .escaped, detectionuntil final editing; it was-then too late to resubmit the ,data becausethe units were redeployed or inactivated,

Inaccuracies devel.ped in the processing ofthe material withinthe Order of .atte t.Section. As materials were processed they were cop-ied any times, often by typists who were not thoroughly familiar withthe problems involved. EVen though careful proofreadings were given,errors continued to be found. It is evident that copyists' errors mustalso have been written into the records .under field conditions wheremeticulous checking as 'impossible.

. Finally the limitations, on time and personnel made necessarya large dependence on the records of higher headquarters. It' was provedtime and agaiti that on matters, of detail. the testimony of higher: head-quarters was unreliable- both because of their .remoteness' from the ev-ent and b'ecause of the time lag in the recording of information fromsubordinate units. Nevertheless any other procedure would have precludedthe possibility of finishing this project in the .time allotted,

With all these provisos, it is probable that 'the errors *hichhave. unavoidably slipped by the compilers' most careful scrutiny arenot so serious as to vitiate the value of the book. It is hoped thatthe 'work may still serve its original purpose in providing an Ariadne 'sthread through the labyrinth of.facts and chronology of the militaryoperations in the Europeian. Theater.

STIT PAGES

Title pages, consist of nicknames, significances, of shouldersleeve insignia, and mottes.of each division. The sources from 'which •this information was 'gathered were Thy. N tional Geo gr:phic iag zineissue of June, '1943, Vol. LXXIII, iN, b6 letter, Hq, TOUSA AG File 314.7(Op H), addressed to all divisions, subject, "Unit History Reports",dated 22 February 1945; and, information obtained from letter, Hq ETOUSA,to all divisions, subject "Historical Date on Ground Divisions", dated4 June 1945.

This in'ormwtion, prepared as concisely and uniformly as possible,is not meant to giv'e a'complete picture, of the background, and history ofthe divisions' insignias., 'When complete information was not available,or where ins'ignia lacks heraldic significance, oaily a brief descriptionof the shoulder patch was given, The' former reason ..applies equally aswell to those'divisions' t.itle pages lacking either a nickname, a motto,or both.'

vi

CO;AiJD A1D STAFF LISTS

Command and staff, lists were. originally compiled in the Histor4ical Section from the following source;: Rosters of Keys Officers, ofdivisions, corps and higher headquarters (submitted monthly by the Ad-jutant General of Hq ETOUSA to the War Department); "After Action Reports"with supporting documents*; and units histories.

These sources, however, proved incomplete, often lacking exactdates of assumption of comma anand dates of promotion. Tentative listswere therefore sent to each division historian for completion and corerection'.

The first date shown for each comanbnd and staff position is thedate the division headquarters arrived in the uropean Theater and does

not necessarily indicate the date the officer assumed the position, nordoes it show the date that particular officer C.rrived in the theater.

As an example, laj Gen a.win P. Parker, Jr, assumed command of the 78thInfantry Division on 15 August 19i2.. However, in this volume, the dateshown opposite his name is 26 October 1944 which is the date the 78thInfantry Division headquarters arrived in the &uroppan Theater.

In the promotion of general officers, there are usually twodates involved, the date of the promotion order, and the effective dateof rank, Therever possible, the date of promotion order has been used,However, where information, missing from the. records, wr.as supplied bythe division through correspondence it was not always possible to controlthis factor.

The reason for selecting the date of the order rather than theeffective date of rank was that it conforms more nearly to the histori-cal fact. For instance, on 6 February 1 9 4 5 , Special Order No. 52 WarDepartment, promoted Brig Gen. W G Weaver, Commanding General of the 8$h

Division to the rank of Major Generalm with an effective date of rankof 5 January 1945. In this volume, the promotion is shown on the latter dt

date, because prior to 6 , brurry 1945, General tWeaver was actually aBrigadier General. and all historiwcal documents will rifer to him asa Brigadier General,

* "After Action Reports' are prescribed by paragraph 10l Army Regula-tion 345-105 "Military Records -- Historical Records and Histories of

Organization, ' dated 18 roy 1929 as ame.ded, After every battle or en-gagement with the enemy, reports were made by commanders of regiments

separate battalions or squadrons, companies or detachments and by allcommnders of a higher grade. It was prescribed that such reports haveannexed thereto the unit and staff journals, together with supportingdocuments, Hq ETOUSA directed that these reports be submitted moAthly.Upon receipt in Hq TOU$A, these reports were forwarded to the Histori-cal Section for custody and use.

vii

Another reason for selectipg .the date of order, or later date,is that in some cases, a general offic'er was reassigned and promoted,with an effective date of rank which goes back to the period of hisformer command, and a date of order which applies to the command towhich reassigned. Lt' Gen L T Gerow was relieved from command of the VCorps and assigned to the command of the. Fifteenth Army on 16 January1945. On that date he was a'major general. Several weeks later he waspromoted~to'the rank of Jieutehant general, but the effective date ofthis rank was retroactive to the period when he was in command of VCorps. However in no period of his actmal command of V Corps was Gene-ral (.erow a, lieutenant general.

ARRIVAL DAT:S IN THE TO ON CONTINENT

Arrival dates in the European Theater and arrival dates on thecontinent were originally obtained from the files of Central MachineRecords Unit, Hq ETOUSA; "After Action Reports"; Unit Histories; andfiles of AG Operations Division, Hq, ETOUSA.

The dates derived from these sources, however, were often inconflict, All dates j-re recorded on work sheets and sources of theinformation shown, These were checked against a list of arrival datesprepared, by Hq,. 12th Army Group. But the resultant discrepancies wereso large that a special request was submitted to all divisions to fur-nish exact dates. In most cases the new dates supplied agreed withthose in the ,After Action Reports" and unit histories. As no furthercheck could be made short of research beyond the scope of this work,these new figures were used. In the case of units which were demobi-lized or inactivated before they could be contacted, the "After ActionReport" or unit history dates were selected.

The arrival of a division usually extended over several daysand sometimes several months.' Inclusive arrival dates, however, wouldhave involved additional complications. It was 'decided therefore torecord only the date of arrival of the division headquarters. Yhenheadquarters itself arrived over . period of two or more days, the onedate selected is that on which the main echelon closed. No attempthas been made to record the arrival of advanced detachments, whichusually came to the European Theater four to six weeks before themain body,

Since the date shown is the arrival date of the main body ofthe division headquarters, there are cases where a division actuallyentered combat prior to its stated arrival on the continent. Forexample, the three infantry regiments of the 42d Infantry Divisionwere committed on 24 December 1944, although the division headquartersdid not arrive until 18 January 1945.

As no central agel. y could furnish a divisional breakdown,and as the extent -of resedrch was limited by time end personel, re-

quest was made to all divisions to submit the figures on total pri-

soners captured, Most divisions answered this request, and the figure

they supplied-was incorporated in this volume, When, for one reason

or another,, no informatioh could be secured in'this way, the item was

left blank. .

Ai ARDS .-AD E ORADT TI OS

Material on awards and aecorations was furnished by the Awards

Branch, Adjutant General, Hq USFE . A monthly report was prepared by

- .ix "'-

that Awards Brahch, based upon reports from lower units, and was for-warded to the VWar Department;1t This report showed the number ad. type. .of awards gra.nted in each diVision, corps ,ad army, and the number of.awards given to'personnl'el' of each arm or service tp 30; Sptember 1945inclusive. The cumulative total of vwards shown in these monthly re-ports furnished the figures presented in this volume.

The figures of the' total" awards made by divisions are sometimesunavoidably misleading. For units 'which were still'in the theater on30 September 1945, this report shows awards given'only up to that date.,For units which departed from the theater prior to 30' September,, noawards are shown after the date 'of departure even though it is knownthat awards based upc.., combat operations in this theater were subse-quently given upon arrival of unit in the Zone of Interior. For exenample, the 97th Inf Div departed from the theater in May 1945. It isknown that awards were given in the US 6bsed upon,European combat ope-rations. Since, however, no report was made to the European Theater,.this information is not in the. monthly theater reports to the War De-partment and is not included in this volume.

Many awards, especially Bronze Stars, were reported to higherheadquarters and incorporated in 'the VWar Department monthly report .butwere later rescinded by lower unit orders. These resoi:ssions were cae.t-sed mostly by the transfer of personnel or the discovery that the awardhad previously been granted. Because of the complexity of recordingeach rescission at higher heedquarters, the AG.made no attempt to alterthe origir'al monthly figures. A small margin of error should thereforebe figured in the totals shown for Bronze Stars.

Figures on Purple Heart awards were not used; since a large per-centage of awards were made in hospitals, records of which were notcleared through divisions, complete data was not available,

Records of awards of Congressional Medals.of Honor and.Distin-guished Service Medals were obt .ined from The Adjutant General's OfficeitMchine Records Branch, from a special report prepared on 28 November1945. Because of their latf receipt, they are not shown in the divisionsion sections, and are listed only in Table J of Part II.

SATTACHME TS AND DETACiui TS

The information conta.ined in this section was obtained partlythrough research by the Historical Section, and partly from lists sub-mitted by divisions. The following sources were used by HistoricalSection researchers; "After Action Reports"; G-3 periodic reports ofdivision and corps; regimental S-3 periodic reports; field orders, messages, sitreps; letters of instructions and corps troop assignment lists,li

Research was a long and difficult process, and in many cases,available records did not furnish information upon which to base a com-plete listing. Beoeuse of insufficient records, and lack of personnelto complete the , se.:3rch on all 61 divisions in the time allotted, a

' .

request was made to divisions to submit this information. Some divi-

sions replied that they could not furnish lists of attachments and de-

tachraents from available records. Sometimes lists furnished by divi-

sions were so inadequate that an entirely new list had to be, accompli-

shed by Historical Section res.earch.

The principal means of verifying atta chmfents and detachments

was the find agreement in record between the unit attrached or detached

and the unit to which it was ,attnched. The volume of work, however,

involved in the chec ing of each attachment in that manner would have

precluded the completion of this tentative study winth he time allot-

ted. For this reason, only detachment and .attachment of regiment s , com-

bat commands, cr vnlry groups and organic divisional units were so chec-

ked.

Iiost discrepancies found were: resolved by research of records

availa.ble at the Historical Section. But sinoe time did not permit the

verification of all attachments or detachments lists ..submitted by divi-

siQns, it is to be assumed that certain inaccuracies exist for non-

organic units of battalion strength or smaller.

B3ecaluse records were not available, no attempt was made to

show attachments prior to a division's entry into combat, fittachmentsshown Which coincide with date unit entered combat may have been made

prior to d.ite..shown.

All cavalry units listed in this study are mechanized.

When attachmentor 'det'ahchment dates were not available, the

item was left blank.

4SSIGNM IT Qi4AD ATTACIHENT TO HIGiHER UNIT

Assignments and attac 'nments to higher units were originelly

prepared from troop .essignmenttlists and "Affter mction Reports of armies,

corps, and divisions, in addition to card files maintained by AG Opera-

tions Division, Hq ET.OUSA. The prepared lists were then submitted to

each division for correction and completion, Upon receipt of corrections

from divisions, lists were again checked with originals compiled by the

Historical Section.

Be .use certain records in the historical section were avai-

lable corroboration of attachmecnts and assignments, the corrections made

by the division were not accep ted without further checking. VlWhere the

division agreed with statemernts of attachment and assigmenttin the ori-in I

ginal historical section report, no further study was made, Issignments

were often made verbally, but recorded later under a different date in

accordance with a written order. If records of verbal orders were found

in research, the date of the verbal order was used in this report.

COMMAND POST LISTS

The initial CP lists were prepared from the following sources:12th Army Group's 0G3 (daily) Reports"; "After Action Reports"; Unit His-tories (of which only six were available); SHAEF' G-3War Room DailySumziarie'§;and 'Rost'er of Key Offioers", publshed monthly by Hq ETOUSA.

One of th eprima y difficulties 'involved in preparing the listof command posts was the inconsistency of the records in the method oflocating them, SHAEF G-3 Summaries listed them only by map grid coor-dinates Mlost other sources indicated CP locations by towns. TwelfthArmy Group G-3 Reports listed grid coordinates for division Cs, andindicated higher headquarters CPs on the map accompanying the report.Units themselves generally referred to their CP locations by relation tothe nearest town. In this voltrme, the latter method for indicating all

division CPs was ado ted.

The errors involved in handling and translati n g coordinates werelarge, as was expected, The tentative lists prepared by the Historical

Section were sent to divisions for check, In most cases divisions sub-mitted entirely new lists different both in place names and dates, inaddition to revealing important omissions, In view of this, only diviesion approved lists were incorporated in this volume.

Even the corrected CP lists submitted by the divisions, howeverwere inaccurate, especially with regard to correct spelling of towns,and -additional checking was necessary before they could be published.It was obvious that many had been carelessly prepared. Cities shownwere often spelled by American phonetics without regard to the Frenchoriginal,

Few divisions named the departments or province of the citieslisted. The task of identifying cities by departments and provinceswas completed in the Historical Section. Those cities which were ob-viously misspelled were corrected by a careful study of the division'sroute of advance. Some of this had to be informed guesswork, and someerrors may therefore remain.

The problem of determining the correct geographical subdivision,made necessary by the multiplication of the same place name in a singlecountry, was further complicated by the fact that many French citieshave compound names but are generally referred to in their own localityby the first name only. When divisions neglected to give the completename of the city, t-,ere was sometimes a possibility of Locating it inthe wrong department, The most difficult case was St. Aubin. France,There are sixteen (16) cities named St, Aubin, plus sixty-one (61) withnames including St. Aubin, like St, Aiubin Celleville, St Aubin de Cretor,and St. Aubin sur Yonne.

The towns on the French border in the departments of Moselle,Bas-Rhin, and Haut-Rhin were sometimes given in German form and some-

times in Fr nch. This presented another problem in identifying

the cities with the proper department.

'In order to identify' to1Nns, wit.hoit ambiguity, the counties

were named.drfo ctties-, in the TUnited Kingdom; provinces for cities

in the Iether.lands,. Belgium, -Austria ;and Czechoslovaki; Depart-

ments for French cities; and administrative divisions were shown

for Germnaa towns. The Grand auchy of. Luxembourg has no political

subdivisions equivalent in size to provinces or counties.

In Germany, where older g"eographical divisions were over-

laid by t zi party administrative .divisions, -the nomenclature

as established by the Third ieichwas.used.

In cases where the Anglicized spelling of foreign cities

or political subdivisions is more easily.recognized by the

general reader than is the foreign spelling, the Anglicized vers-

ion has been used. For example, J.tAunich' has been used. in placeof ",unchen" and %Baveria in place of "Bayern". Otherwvise the

spelling used is that recognized by the country. iivolvdd.

It will be noted that the date snhown for .the initial Com-

mand Post Location does not usually agree with the date shownfor the arrival of the division in the theater or the first date

shown for each GCoamand aiid Staff off cer , th may bre xplained

by the fact that some divisions reported 1Cts wxiich were set up

in advance of the arrival of the main body of divisior.headquart-

ers; wherea>, other divisions: did not r!-port a CF 'until tih main

body hd actually arrived at the initiai CP.

"Bloody Bucket Division":"Keystone Division"

The red keystone, official em-blem of the State of Pennsylva-nia, is the official shoulder

sleeve insignia of the 28th Di-vision which was originally a

Pennsylvania National Guard or-ganization. The Germans calledit the "Bloody Bucket" becauseof the blood-red keystone insig-nia and vicious fighting tactics

during the Normandy Campaign,

Motto; "Fire and Movement".

"Onaway Division"

The division insignia is an es-cutcheon which has a red fieldand a blue chief, separated byan olive drab line; a three-pronged white device is superimoposed on the blue chief. Thewhite device was a medieval hg-lish her.adic symbol meaning"first son". In World War I the76th was the first division ofthe National Army to be drawnfrom civilian ranks through thedraft, hence the insignia andthe description, "the first sonsof the nation",The co mbined col-ors of the field, the device, andthe chief are the national col-ors. "0Onaway' is the alert cryof the Chippewa Indians, in whosehunting grounds the 76th Division

trained.
