Daddy’s battalion only saw heavy combat three times. First was St. Lo, then the assault crossing of the Roer River then the Rhine which they bridged after the first battalion failed.
They did have a lot of interesting times tho. Once they shot down an FW-190 which was strafing them in a quarry. Another time they pulled 18 mines out of a six yard square piece of ground.
I have their over 400 page history.
Dad's brother was in the 9th ID, which had already been in Africa and Sicily before he joinded them in England before D+4 (which was when they were tasked with cutting the Cotentin Peninsula and taking Cherbourg). Like your dad's battalion, 2/47 had interesting times and kept pretty busy from then until they linked up with the Soviets at the Mulde, but you never hear much about them.
