The 45th U.S. Infantry Division

Through hundreds of vintage photographs, the journey of this American Division, which landed in Provence in August 1944 after a long campaign in Italy, leads us to the heart of Germany where the unit was the first to enter the Dachau Concentration Camp. They were previously released part of the South France, then traveled up the Rhone Valley to Vosges. The 45th Division was covered with honors in very heavy fighting.
