 THE 5th IN A C T I O N
Often o u t p a c i n g the A l l i e d s u p p l y sys-
t e m i n k n i f i n g 700 miles across F r a n c e , the
5th Infantry " R e d D i a m o n d " D i v i s i o n
spearheaded the b r i l l i a n t assault on the
fortress c i t y of M e t z to c l i m a x a series of
remarkable performances i n the B a t t l e of
Europe.
P r o u d wearers of the red d i a m o n d
shoulder p a t c h , D o u g h b o y s of the F i f t h
came to be k n o w n b y the G e r m a n s as the
" R e d D e v i l s " as t h e y heaped v i c t o r y

M a j o r G e n e r a l Stafford L . I r w i n .

beachhead on the M o s e l l e R i v e r , from

M e t z . T h e F i f t h l a n d e d on the continent
J u l y 10, a n d M e t z fell N o v e m b e r 19.
L a c k of supplies — the F i f t h was far
ahead of lines r u n n i n g f r o m N o r m a n d y
beaches — delayed the d i v i s i o n for five
days i n September a n d gave the dis-
organized G e r m a n s an o p p o r t u n i t y to set
up a formidable defense along the Moselle.
In the 700 mile d r i v e across F r a n c e , the
R e d D e v i l s took 3,700 prisoners. D u r i n g
the final operations at M e t z , t h e y cap-
t u r e d 4,133 more G e r m a n s in a d d i t i o n to
1,048 k i l l e d a n d 4,000 wounded. H u g e
stores of enemy material a n d supplies
also fell to the F i f t h .
One of the hardest-fighting a n d by the
same t o k e n one of the most depleted
divisions, the R e d D i a m o n d e r s i n ten
months of combat f r o m J u l y , 1944 to
M a y , 1945 h a d a battle casualty t u r n o v e r
of r o u g h l y 100 per cent. T h e rifle c o m -
panies changed personnel between 200 a n d
300 per cent i n t h a t period.
A gauge of the war's tide was evident
i n the fact t h a t the men who came home

yesterday, replacing m e n who h a d re-
placed other men, were t o u g h a n d already
battle hardened. T h e division's men have
at least one Congressional M e d a l of

 5th DIVISION STORIES
E D I T O R ' S N O T E : Memories of the European experience will blur with the passing of
years. Accuracy will diminish. Details will become vague and half forgotten. T o record, i n black
and white here and now, the mood, the impressions, the exciting events of the worst days and the
best is the purpose of these stories. Connecticut men of the 5th were asked for their own stories
and i n their own words they are here so recorded:
