87TH INFANTRY DIVISION ARDENNES CAMPAIGN BACKGROUND |
To get an idea of just how new and green the 87th Infantry Division really was when they were committed to the fighting in the Ardennes the following should be noted; Activated on: Dec 15,1942 Arrived in the ETO: November 13, 1944 Arrived on the Continent (D+180): December 3, 1944 Entered Combat on December 13, 1944 I have used this page to put the GSASL in historical perspective by including some links to background information on the actual campaign. Much of the basis and information I used to create this GSASL comes from these sources. Below you will find links to more detailed information; |
