U.S.
A brief history of 106th Infantry "Golden lions" Division
he 106th Infantry Division was activated on 15 March 1943 at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, with a cadre from the 80th Infantry Division. Following basic and advanced infantry training, the Division moved on 28 March 1944 to Tennessee to participate in the Second Army No. 5 Maneuvers.
The 106th Infantry Division relieved the 2nd Infantry Division in the Schnee Eifel on 11 December 1944, with its 424th Infantry Regiment being sent to Winterspelt. Prior to the battle, according to the U.S. Army Service Manual, one division should be responsible for no more than 5 miles (8.0 km) of front.[2] On the eve of the battle, the 106th, along with the attached 14th Cavalry Group, was covering a front of at least 21 miles (34 km)
In the Ardennes-Alsace Campaign, the Germans attacked the 106th on 16 December 1944. The division’s 422nd and 423rd Infantry Regiments were encircled and cut off by a junction of enemy forces in the vicinity of Schönberg. They regrouped for a counterattack, but were blocked by the enemy. The two regiments surrendered on 19 December. The Germans gained 6,000 prisoners in one of the largest mass surrenders in American military history.
The division was reconstituted on 16 March when the 3rd Infantry Regiment (the Old Guard) and the 159th Infantry Regiment were attached to replace the two lost regiments. The division then moved back to Germany on 25 April, where, for the remainder of its stay in Europe, the 106th handled POW enclosures and engaged in occupational duties.
In the meantime, the 422nd Infantry Regiment and the 423rd Infantry Regiment were reconstituted from replacements in France on 15 April, were attached to the 66th Infantry Division in training status, and were still in this status when the Germans surrendered on 8 May 1945.
Weapon I had in mind for the squad
Experimental Self-Loading Springfield Rifle
This idea - about converting the Springfield model 1903 rifles into self-loading ones - came to American military leaders almost immediately after this rifle began to be supplied to the troops.
And in general it is clear why: at that time almost all leading armies of Europe were not only concerned about promising self-loading and automatic rifles, but were also testing the first samples, and some even hinted that almost any day now they would begin to rearm their soldiers with these rapid-fire systems. The
American military, one must assume, gave the corresponding order, and already in 1906, nameless specialists of the Springfield Arsenal proposed their own version of the conversion.
