First Legion continues to expand their
coverage of USA forces for their “Battle of Normandy” range with
the US 4th Infantry Division! The 4th Infantry, nicknamed the
“Ivy” Division, landed at Utah beach on D-Day and quickly hooked
up inland with the US 82nd and 101st Airborne. They fought
their way through the hedgerows of the Cotentin peninsula and
took part in the capture of Cherbourg in near continuous combat
from the day of the landing until the 28th of June. They were
then shifted south and along with the 2nd Armored Division
spearheaded the assault at St Lo. They were also the first
Americans to enter Paris, fought in the Hurtgen Forest and
battle of the Bulge, and participated in every major campaign
spending 199 straight days in contact with the enemy. Overall
the division suffered 34,000 casualties and is one of the
storied divisions of the US Army. |

The 101st Division landed in Normandy on
the early hours of June 6th 1944 but were spread out due to
missed drop zones. After isolated battles by various pockets of
men, the division consolidated and pushed on St. Come du Mont on
June 8th and pressed for the causeways to Utah Beach on June
10th. On June 12th they attacked Carentan driving out the German
Fallschirmjagers and beat off ferocious counterattacks to the
southwest of the town by SS Panzergrenadiers of the 17th
Division and Fallschirmjagers supported by Assault guns on June
13th in the Battle of Bloody Gulch. After this period of
non-stop fighting, the division was assigned the role of
defending the left flank of VII corps and shortly later taken
out of the line and placed in operational reserve having taken
heavy casualties in men and material. |
