With targets ranging from horse-drawn chow. wagons to huge Maginot and Siegfried
forts and gun batteries, the 925th Field Artillery Battalion provided accurate, well coordinated
artillery support for all of CT-9's combat operations in \Vorld \Var II. To them goes credit for firing
the first round of heavy artillery for the 100th Division in combat at 1645 hours of Novemberl, 1944.
During the attack on Lemberg, December 7th, they poured in the heaviest concentration
of fire in their combat experience and succeeded in destroying two strategically placed flak-wagons,
which enabled the infantry to crash into town.
Throughout the winter their firepower helped contain the New Year's Day counterattack, aided the numerous infantry patrols and softened the enemy positions preparatory to
the Spring Offensive. Again at lIeillJronn, the counter-hattery fire against the 88's that rained dow;}
onto the 399th Neckar HiHr bridgehead from the commanding ridges played a large part in the
rail of that key bastion.

Few of the Engineers' wartime tasks are spectacular, most of them are dangerous, and all
of them are imperative to the success of a Combat Team's operations. While the fighting was still
raging on Tete des Reclos where
Company
"c" 325th Engineers
the 399th won the Division's first Presidential Citation,
built a log corduroy supply road through the s\vamp at the base of the
mountain. By means of this road supplies and amm unition poured in to assure control of the ,prometory which broke the German Vosges \Vall in two.
The Engineers spent the winter laying minefie1ds in front of infantry positions, stringing
miles of concertina and double-apron barbed wire fences, blasting foxholes out of the frozen earth
and constructing roadblocks.
In April, as the 399th closed in around Heilbronn, the Engineers had the task of
building a bridge across the Neckar River. With perfect observation, the enemy poured direct artillery fire on the bridge site and destroyed each attempt the bridgemen made to span the river. After
several heart-breaking and futile attempts, they finally succeeded and, in addition, put into operation a motor-propelled assault ferry.

The task of speedy evacuation of casualties fell to the men of Company "COl 325th Medical Battalion. Forming a vital link in the medical evacuation system, their' collecting company gave
aid and performed operations on casualties brought in from the battalion aid stations.
Speed with care was the keynote of these medics who saved the lives of many 399th
men. From the collecting company they provided ambulance transportation back to the division
dearing station. On December 7th, the first day of our all-out attack on Lemberg, these corpsmen
did a herculean task in evacuating 146 wounded.
At Heill:ironn, all efforts to move the ambulances across the Neckar during the first
period of battle were smashed by the observed German shellfire. The Aidmen brought the wounded
to the river where they were taken across by rope-towed ferry or assault boats to the waitin~
corpsmen on the other side for evacuation to the collecting point.

Although not a member of the Combat Team, Company "A" 781st Tank Battalion was
attached to CT-9 during the 175 days on line. The rough wooded terrain of the Vosges was
unsuited for tank warfare and the Shermans made their first good showing at Lemberg, where they
smashed into town in a riight tank-infantry attack.
It was the Rhineland offensive, however, when the Sherman-doughfoot tactics r"eally
began to payoff. Quickly breaching the Maginot Line at the hitherto imp~egnable fortress of Bitche,
the armor-infantry team pushed on deep into the heart of the Reich. After a quick race to the
Rhine, the motorized columns sped south to Heilbronn where the armored support of the infantry
was temporarily halted because the engineers couldn't push a bridge across the N"eckar. On April
10th, motor-powered assault ferries transported the first tank across the river and the armorinfantry team continued its drive toward Stuttgart.

178
Also attached to CT-9 during comhat was Company "A" 824th Tank Destroyer ,Battalion. Teaming with the tankers, the TDmen churned along, protecting the tanks, carrying riflemell, splitting pillboxes with direct fire, and giving indirect fire when needed.
The 824-men were an important part' of the armor-infantry team that made the race
to the Rhine and beyond. In one day they drove their M-IO's sixty miles into enemy territory. In the
drive south from Heilbronn, the TD's gave direct support to the attacking infantrymen. At 50ntheim, 'falheim and Gagernberg, the TDmen fired their point blank cannons and .50 calibre marhineguns to relieve the infantry who were pinned down by enemy fire.
In the woods between Flein and Untergruppenbach, their daring assault fire knocked out
fOUl" German machineguns and killed 18 krauts which enabled the infantry to move forward and
initiate another breakthrough.

At Chateau-Thierry in 1918 a correspondent
once heard an American infantryman mutter, "Some
guys fight the war and others play in bands." In \Vorld
\Var II some guys did both.
One winter morning of early 1944 a Sgt. Frank Hanshaw and a Colonel Andrew Tychsen wcre walking
. past the Rec Hall in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
"Tell me, Sergeant, do you hear noise coming from that building?"
"No sir, Colonel, I hear music."
The 399th Infantry Band was organized and quickly became tops in the North Carolina dance circuit, appearing on several radio shows. In the June "Battle of Music" among 100th Diyision bands, the 399th
musicoes walked away with top honors in both sweet and hot licks.
The band played nightly shows across the Atlantic before the 399th landed at Marseille. The
uandsmen put their instruments with the duffel bags, picked up their rifles, headed up the Rhone Valley
toward the front.
175 combat days later the band reorganized. Five of the Stateside members were wounded and gone.
The remainder were wearing the silver and blue combat Infantryman's badge, the Medic's valor badge, purple
hearts, silver stars. The trombones wouldn't slide and the trumpets were mildewed. After a four day overhauling the boys put on their first post-war show which was later to increase to over 1,000 appearances.
The 399th Combat Infantry Band has been acclaimed by Privates and Commanding Generals alike as
"the" band in the ETO. Radio AFN Munich beamed many of their recordings and personal appearancesp.
A show by the 399th Combat Infantry Band would have the spotlight on the trumpet of Joe Rao, say
of Ken Soderblom, clarinet of Irwin Witcoff, and piano of Don Gero. Top sidelights are the announcing of
CBSman Deane Stewart, laughs by Rip Farish, solid sending by "Creepy" Sohlman and the Sextet, drum duet
by Joey Raina and Dannie Seypura, and vocals by Ray Vorce, Harry Walker, and Jay Johnson.
