This section of the Wartime Press archive is dedicated to the U.S. Army Infantry Divisions of World War II. For each division you will find the original divisional shoulder patch alongside a historical fact sheet covering the division’s nickname, patch design, commanding generals, component units, awards and combat highlights.

 

These fact sheets were originally produced in 1945 by the Special Information Section (SIS), Office of Technical Information, Army Ground Forces (AGF), Army War College — printed as inexpensive booklets for service personnel. Few of these original booklets have survived the years, making them a rare historical resource. We have reproduced them here as a permanent record alongside each division’s available publications.

 

The books, booklets and unit newspapers you will find under each division were produced during the war years or shortly after in the post-war period. All items are available as instant digital PDF downloads — purchase today and receive your file immediately by email. As we acquire more unit histories through archive acquisitions, donations and loaned materials they will be added to their respective division pages.

 

If you are researching a specific division or have materials you would like to contribute to the archive, please contact us at wartimepress@yahoo.com — we would love to hear from you.
