Co E 303 Inf Regt 97 Inf Div

Company E, 303rd Infantry Regiment, was a part of the 97th Infantry Division of the United States Army during World War II. Activated in 1943, the division trained extensively before deploying to Europe in March 1945. The 303rd Infantry Regiment participated in the final Allied offensives in Germany, including operations to capture Düsseldorf and clear the Ruhr Pocket. Following the German surrender, the 97th Division was redeployed to Czechoslovakia for occupation duties before being sent to the Pacific, but the war ended before they saw combat there. Company E and its parent units were inactivated in early 1946 after returning to the United States.
