Funny I just found out that the 83rd has liberated my home town Grevenbroich in Germany and a friend of mine has convinced our mayor to build a monument for the 83rd

Also known as the 83rd Panzer Grenadier division because of all of the German equipment and vehicles they were using. They transformed themselves into mechanized infantry. Using captured equipment. My Uncle was there. Carrol McDonough 331st RCT.

A classic Army Signal Corps reel. A mix bag of stock footage etc. Great stuff. Thanks for posting!

my dad boris poltawsky was with the 83 rd anti tank co.

My father Maurice Candido was with the 83rd and was a true American patriot . I have actually have seen him in some of these old war footage .He died back in 1985 and we miss him . Toni Taragowski

Thanks for posting, PublicResourceOrg. My dad was in the 83rd, 331st Combat Team. He lived to age 90 and died in 2002 in Lancaster, Pa.

My grandfather was 83rd infantry Thunderbolt as well. Died when I was 5 ywars old.

My Dad was in this outfit. Clarksburg Wv.

A good film, with different guys from different parts of the divison telling their story.

Its hard to realize the size of the war. So many battles going on at the same time. I've been binge listening to soldiers storys for a week and am still in awe of what happened.

These men were awesome. Bitter cold n no gloves and they still shooting....

Imagine at anchor for two weeks during a storm I'm the shallows of the Channel. They were more than ready to get ashore and push hard.

My Dad was in the 908th FA HQ Battalion.

O H I O

My Opa was a volunteer Schutze in the German Wehrmacht ... He fought in France too ...

Seemed like forever fighting, but actually just a total of 11 months fighting in Europe. Japan was the long war.

I'm a vet.If the enemy's in range,so are you.!
