Document Overview

Compiled and written by 1st Lt. Morton J. Stussman, this unit history frames the 60th Infantry Regiment’s story as a “testimonial without names,” tracing the regiment from its World War I service at St. Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne through its World War II campaigns with the 9th Infantry Division — North Africa, Sicily, Normandy, Aachen, the Hurtgen Forest, the Battle of the Bulge, and the Rhine crossing at Remagen — into the occupation of Germany. It is a digital download of a scanned copy of the original wartime publication.
