Narrated by Stuart Queen, from "The Big Picture", Episode 222 (1952) - Provides a pictorial history of the infantrymen of the 29th Division. Shows amphibious maneuvers in England, the conflict at St. Lo and Brest, and the beach at Normandy.
The 29th Infantry Division ("Blue and Gray") is an infantry division of the United States Army based in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. It is a formation of the United States Army National Guard and contains units from Maryland, Virginia, and variously North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Formed in 1917, the division deployed to France as a part of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. Called up for service again in World War II, the division's 116th Regiment, attached to the First Infantry Division, was in the first wave of troops ashore during Operation Overlord, the landings in Normandy, France. It supported a special Ranger unit tasked with clearing strong points at Omaha Beach. The rest of the 29th ID came ashore later then advanced to Saint-Lô, and eventually through France and into Germany itself. These actions have since been the subject of many motion pictures and video games.

My Dad, Paul Meluh served in the 29th Infantry Division from Baltimore, Maryland. He joined the 29th before the war and served as the "bugle boy" for the unit. When the war was declared he went to train in England with the 29th then went into the battle of Normandy on the beach. He was the only survivor of his outfit and was gravely wounded. Managing to somehow struggle to walk to American lines with his left side shot out held in by his rain gear, he was sent back to England to recover. He did survive and returned home to Baltimore. He received, along with other honors the Purple Heart. He continued to serve in the Army until retirement. He continued to be active with the 29th in Baltimore and was PROUD of having served with such brave and fine soldiers. He did not like to talk about his war time, especially the personal loss of friends and "buddies" nor the horrors he must have seen and experienced, and always downplayed his involvement as "an American doing his duty to his country". But make no mistake he, along with all the men and women that served in WWII and those that continue to serve are TRUE HEROS. LET NO ONE EVER FORGET!

My grandfather was in the 29th, 121st combat engineer battalion. Made it to November 1944 where he took two bullets to the back. Made it home, thank God.

Two of my Mom's uncles were in the 29th, D Day plus one. The younger of the two was also in the invasion of Italy. The older of the two was awarded the Silver Star and the Bronze Star for his actions during the break out and the battle for St. Lo. When he came back from the war he took my Mom fishing one day. It was in the summer and very hot that day so he had shorts on. My Mom said his legs were covered in scar tissue; he was sprayed with shrapnel from either a German mortar round or a frag grenade.

I spent most of my career in the 29th, in the 2-224th Aviation Regiment. "29 Let's Go"

My great uncle, PFC Leonard Roosevelt Tefteller, was in the 29th, 121st Engineers. He was KIA on June 8, 1944. I'm trying to figure out what battle he was killed in.

@ThumperH60 18 дней назад

It would have been considered part of the battle of Normandy. There were months of combat in Normandy after D-Day

William Donaldson Sprigg Jr. was a soldier in the 29th Infantry Division, 116th Regimental Combat Team, 29th Signal Company. He served on Omaha Beach during D-Day and was part of establishing a secure CP on the beach.

My father had his LCT sunk on June 6th but went ashore the next day, was wounded at St.Lo later. Out county, Bedford, Virginia (Home of the National D-Day Memorial) suffered the highest per capita losses at Normandy. The book, The Bedford Boys tells their story. Was the Croix de Guerre a unit medal or an individual one? My father's medals did not include one.

My father Pfc Gerald C Morton told me how scared he was crouching in a landing craft headed Omaha beach. When they were close to disembarking an officer yelled "29, Lets go!". Only to hear a big loud voice of one of the soldiers yell back "29, Lets NOT go!!"

@christiandaly4281 Год назад

My Great Grandfather was a captain in 29th, was in charge of many ships and landing crafts on D-Day there, I wish I can find for information.

When I see the round uniform patch I always think first of Privat Upham from "Saving Private Ryan" (1998). What a loser Upham was, and then he survived that movie.

@htx_locowedo 2 года назад

He ended up killing the soldier that he gave a second chance. He kind of redeemed himself by taking that shot.

@JimD410 9 месяцев назад

He wasn't a loser he was a quartermaster he wasn't ready to go in with the rangers.

The “blue badge”, how on earth are you meant to see if a badge is blue, it’s in black and white. One small but important point, if this was filmed in 1943/1944 then Jerry bombers would not have been bombing “every hour, on the hour” the Luftwaffe was all but defeated in 1944 when it came to bomber raids on the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 especially daylight raids that all but ended after the Battle of Britain had been won, long before the United States officially entered the war. As for not seeing “an able bodied man” in the towns and villages, well that’s because all the able bodied men were either enlisted in the military or employed on essential war work in the major towns and cities, and that was the norm, as it was before the United States officially entered the war. And another thing, the submarine pens at Breast were put out of action by the RAF, not “Uncle Sam” Ok, rather than listing every inaccurate piece of narration I will just say this, I know it’s a propaganda film for the United States military, however the inaccuracies in this are the same as most modern day documentaries, and that is probably because the documentary makers of today have seen these older documentaries and believe everything in them, just perpetuating the untrue history American style. If anyone doesn’t like my opinion then all I can say is DILLIGAF. And not one mention of the French in the section about the war for independence, and only a brief and under the radar mention of the Civil War, the Indian and Mexican campaigns totally excluded, when will America realise that history on that scale can’t be forgotten or ignored.

Earned what from the French ? The French collaborated with the Nazis . They were turncoats . Yeah some were very helpfull in the resistance , but quite a few collaborated . My grandpa was in the 82nd airborne of the US of A , and in all the major , bloody engagements. Dday , Operation Market Garden , and wounded in the Battle of The Bulge . He said the French under g round should of stayed under ground ; due to the fact that quite a few times their info. was unreliable .
