"Battle Battered" 69th Infantry Division
"The Fighting 69th" became the Division's motto after the troops passed their first combat test with flying colors - entering the front lines on February 11, 1945 and swiftly smashing through the vaunted Westwall, nicknamed the "Line Siegfried" by American and British troops.
