After the division had smashed the Germans in Normandy, they pursued the retreating enemy through Belgium. However, their rapid advance came to a halt when they hit the Siegfried Line and the Roer dams. Here they fought a determined enemy, which bogged down the Allies.

During the Battle of the Bulge, the division joined the Allied northern counterattack, hitting the Fifth Panzer Army at Dinant. The division halted and then destroyed the German spearheads of the 2nd and 9th Panzer Divisions.

In 1945 the division fought into Germany, teaming up once again with the 3rd Armoured Division as they trapped German Army Group B in the Ruhr pocket in March.

During World War II, ‘Hell On Wheels’ soldiers received 9369 awards for distinguished service and bravery, including two Medals of Honor, twenty-three Distinguished Service Crosses, 2302 Silver Stars, and nearly 6000 Purple Hearts. The division had fought for 238 days in combat, suffering 7,348 casualties, including 1,160 killed in action.
