Tab: "Super Sixth"



Activated at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The Arabic number six shows the division's designation. The history of the Super Sixth is brief, but their deeds were great and live on in the hearts of all patriotic Americans. Normandy, Muhlhausen, Buchenwald, and the Battle of the Bulge are inscribed for all time in the pages of this outfit's history, and the spirits of nearly five thousand soldiers killed or wounded bear witness to the unit's sacrifices in the cause of freedom. The Super Sixth gained fame for its ability to move and overcome enemy resistance rapidly and was credited with 272 days of combat but lost 4,670 men killed and wounded in five campaigns



Campaigns: WWII (Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, Central Europe)
