Book excerpt: The 75th Infantry Division was an integral part of the U.S. Army's victory in the Battle of the Bulge in December, 1944. This was the largest land battle the U.S. Army fought in Western Europe during World War II and helped secure the defeat of Germany. It was Adolf Hitler's last desperate gamble to defeat the Anglo-American alliance on the western front. The 75th Infantry Division was a newly activated army unit that had just arrived in the European Theater of Operations, before it was rushed into combat to stop the German bulge in the Ardennes Forest in Belgium. This thesis documents the impact that the 75th Infantry Division had in defeating the German army and help in winning World War II.
