35th Infantry Division Memory
For never forget...
Santa Fe
A military history enthusiast of the Second World War and in particular the fighting in Europe from June 1944 until the final victory of 8 May 1945, the idea occured to me to create this site dedicated to 35th Infantry Divsion.
Indeed, unlike the divisions having taken part in the landings of 6 June 1944, the 35th Division, like many others, is less well known and seems forgotten when she was not unworthy since his landing in Normandy in July 1944 to the borders of the Elbe in April 1945.
These men have paid a heavy toll to come fight on a land that was not theirs to release us from the tyranny of the Nazi.
Today, over 65 years later, this site commemorates and pays tribute to their memory so that their sacrifice is not in vain.
