Stand where they fought tour - The Battle in the Vosges 1944
#1

Hi all

 

well it's time to share with you another story of one of mine Stand where they fought tours. This time I can show you some photos of a Battle only a few know of - The Battle of Bruyere and the rescue of the lost Battalion in October 1944.

 

On the tracks of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team

 

The 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, units of the US Army made up of Americans of Japanese ancestry. This is the story of their part in the Battle of Bruyères and Biffontaine as well as the their successful rescue of the "Lost Batallion" (1st Battalion of the 141st "Alamo" Regiment, 36th Texas-Division). The 442nd RCT lost more than 800 troops while rescuing 211 men behind enemy lines.

 

Those battles is also the climax of the Nisei’s battle against suspicion, intolerance, and a hatred that was conceived in some dark corner of the American mind and born in the flames that swept Pearl Harbor.
