The 26th Yankee Division In World War II

The hour long photo/lecture starts with the pre-war activation of the Division. Then we go over 26th's participation in the Carolina Maneuvers. After the Pearl Harbor attack the 26th was put to use in defense of our Coastline. The Division was then sent to the Tennessee Maneuvers. Finally the Yankee Division was deployed to Europe just before the Battle of Bulge.

We chronicle the heavy fighting during the winter to the rapid pursuit of the crumbling Nazi empire in the spring of 1945.
