340th General Hospital

The 340th General Hospital was an Army medical unit activated during World War II. Organized in 1942, the unit trained in the United States before deploying to the European Theater of Operations. During the war, the 340th provided critical medical care to wounded Allied soldiers, operating large field hospitals in France and Germany following the D-Day invasion. After the war’s end, the unit was deactivated as part of the general demobilization of U.S. forces.
