759th Tank Bn

The 759th Tank Battalion was activated in June 1941 at Fort Knox, Kentucky, as an independent tank battalion of the United States Army. Initially equipped with light tanks, the unit deployed to the European Theater during World War II and landed in France shortly after D-Day. The 759th provided vital armored support to infantry divisions through France, Belgium, and Germany, participating in major campaigns including the Battle of the Bulge. The battalion earned distinction for its effectiveness in combined arms operations and was later redesignated as the 4th Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment.
