94th Infantry Division

The 94th Infantry Division was an infantry division of the United States Army, first activated during World War I in 1918, though it did not see combat before the war ended. Reactivated for World War II, the division landed in France in September 1944 and played a key role in containing German forces in the Lorient and Saint-Nazaire pockets on the Brittany Peninsula. Later, the 94th fought in the Battle of the Bulge and advanced into Germany, participating in the capture of the vital city of Ludwigshafen. The division was inactivated in early 1946, having earned a distinguished record for its actions in the European Theater.
