The 28th Infantry Division Enters the Hürtgen Forest

The “Green Hell” of the Hürtgen Forest during World War II is forever enshrined in the memory of the 28th Division as one of the most terrible and brutal actions in its history.

On this day in 1944, the division’s infantry regiments began their assaults toward three separate objectives: the 109th Infantry toward the town of Hürtgen, the 110th Infantry toward the Simonskall, and the division's main effort, the 112th Infantry toward the German strongholds of Vossenack and Schmidt.

The 28th Division held on to their sector as best they could, with fresh replacements filtering up into the line to stem tremendous losses. From Nov. 2 to Nov. 19, the Keystone Division fought to hold their line and make limited advances in the “Green Hell.” This brief period would cost the unit heavily: 248 officers and 5,452 enlisted men became casualties, and in some units, entire chains of command were wiped out.

in 1944, Soldiers from the 28th Infantry Division march down the Champs-Elysées following the liberation of Paris during World War II. The festivities would be short-lived, though. After the parade, the division returned to the front lines and fought in the Battle of Hurtgen Forest in November and the Battle of the Bulge in December, suffering heavy casualties in both battles.
