104th Infantry Division Campaign Map

Campaigns of the 104th Infantry Division, the Timberwolf division, during World War II is a visual history of the division during the war. Along with a map showing the march of the 104th Infantry in Europe, it has a set of military unit badges at the bottom. 

The 104th Infantry Division landed in France on 7 September 1944 and spent 200 days in combat in Europe during World War II. The division fought in the Northern France, Rhineland, and Central Europe campaigns.

The 104th Infantry Division saw its first combat ground, along the Antwerp-Breda highway in the Netherlands in October 1944. The Timberwolf Division attacked toward Zundert, crossed the Mark River, captured Zevenbergen, and reached the Maas before shifting rapidly to the Aachen sector. Its first campaign combined wet lowland movement with the fortified and industrial terrain of the German frontier.

Near Aachen, the division relieved the 1st Infantry Division and attacked toward the Donnersberg and Eschweiler Woods. It fought through the Eschweiler-Weisweiler industrial complex, crossed the Inden River, and battled for Lammersdorf, Inden, Pier, and Merken before reaching the Roer. After winter defensive duty, the division crossed the Roer in February 1945 and advanced through Duren, Arnoldsweiler, the Erft Canal, and into Cologne.

After crossing the Rhine from the Remagen bridgehead area, the 104th joined operations against the Ruhr Pocket. It fought near Medebach, captured Paderborn, crossed the Weser, and later fought house-to-house for Halle before reaching the Mulde. Contact with Soviet forces followed near Pretzsch.
