9th Infantry Division

Stars and Stripes, which ought to know, called it “The Varsity.” A newspaper editorial at home dubbed it “Hitlers Nemesis.’’ Nobody knows what Hitler called it, but his term probably wasn’t affectionate.

The 9th Infantry Division has a record few outfits can surpass. Its 22,724 casualties attest to the tough fighting it saw. The 17 generals who have graduated from its ranks since its activation (including its first commander, General Jacob L. Devers, now chief of all the Army Ground Forces) attest to its leadership. And the battles it has won attest to its high combat effectiveness.

Port Lyautey, Algiers, El Guettar, Bizerte, Randazzo, Quinnéville, Cherbourg, the Falaise Gap, Remagen, the Ruhr Pocket, the Harz Mountains—these are only a few of the major scenes of action for the veteran 9th.

The red-white-and-blue octofoil—the fifteenth century heraldic symbol for the ninth son—has been borne through Algeria, Tunisia, French Morocco, Sicily, England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, and Norway—and the men who now wear it are on permanent occupation duty in Germany.

Their long trip to victory began on November 8, 1942, when elements of the 9th Division, as parts of two separate task forces, stormed ashore at Algiers, and at Port Lyautey and Sojro. For a while two of the 9th’s regimental combat teams guarded the Spanish Moroccan border, and were reviewed by President Roosevelt at the time of the Casablanca Conference.

In Tunisia, during the winter and early spring of 1943, the 9th made a 900-mile forced march to Kasserine and fought at Sened and Maknassy, and on May 7, tank destroyers attached to the Division were the first Allied troops into Bizerte, last German stronghold in Africa. Moving on into Sicily, the 9th landed at Palermo and added the key city of Randazzo to its growing list of conquests.

The 9th left Sicily on November 8, 1943, first anniversary of its African invasion. It sailed to England to train for the invasion of France, and landed in Normandy on D-day plus 4. Spearheaded by the 39th Infantry, with its now famous slogan of “Anything, Anywhere, Any Time, Bar Nothing,” the 9th Division marched to Quinnéville, pushed on to Bameville, cut the Cotentin Peninsula, and moved on to Cherbourg, where it captured the German commander of the seaport garrison. It was one of the divisions that led the breakthrough out of St.Lô, it fought at Château-Thierry and, on September 2, it began the liberation of Belgium.

By September 5, the 9th had crossed the Meuse River, near Dinant, and eight days later it had entered Germany, south of Rôtgen. It fought its way through Saarlautern, street by street and house by house, and as the winter snows covered the battle-field, it battled south of Aachen.

In February, the 9th relieved the 99th at Monschau, moved northeast, and took Einruhr, two miles from the vital Roer River dam, followed by Wascheid and Gemünd. It helped the 1st Division mop up at Bonn, and, late in March, was one of the first outfits to battle at the Remagen bridgehead. A month later, it cut the Cologne-Frankfurt highway, captured the ancient walled city of Ziilpich ( Clovis had laid siege to it as far back as a.d. 496), and took on the job of reducing the Ruhr Pocket. Not only did the 9th keep the Germans from breaking out of there, but at Schmallenberg, Hitler’s Nemeses captured themselves a fine German footwear factory and were issued an unprecedentedly large number of new shoes.

Except for the 47th Infantry, which was detached at the end of the war to travel briefly to Norway, the rest of the 9th spent the closing days of the struggle cleaning up that pocket. The Division took Mechede and Siedlinghausen, and liberated 900 slave laborers from five countries imprisoned at Sinn, on the Dill River.

Ernie Pyle once said, “The 9th is good.” He knew what he was talking about.
