94th Infantry Division Campaign Map

This campaign map shows the route of the 94th Infantry Division throughout Europe during World War II. The division fought in the Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe campaigns.

For the 94th Infantry Division, the war began with containment duty on the French coast. Landing in September 1944, the division relieved armored forces around the German-held ports of Lorient and Saint-Nazaire. For months it held those isolated garrisons in place before moving east to the Saar-Moselle Triangle in January 1945.

There the campaign changed sharply. Facing strongly fortified West Wall switch positions, the division fought around Tettingen, Butzdorf, Nenning, Berg, Sinz, and the Orscholz area. After heavy losses and repeated attacks, it broke through the Saar-Moselle Triangle and established bridgeheads across the Saar at Ockfen and Serrig-Taben. Those crossings opened the route toward Saarburg and helped protect armored movement toward Trier.

In March, the 94th advanced out of the bridgehead, crossed the Ruwer, and reached the Rhine. It took part in the battle for Ludwigshafen before moving north to the Krefeld area, where it contained the western side of the Ruhr Pocket. The campaign route of the 94th Infantry Division moves from besieged Atlantic ports to some of the most heavily fortified ground on the German frontier.
