On August 5th, 1944 the 8th Infantry Division, also known as "Pathfinder", had just arrived in Rennes to occupy the city while one regiment, the 121st, was sent to assist with the capture of St. Malo. As a component of VIII Corps the 8th Division held the responsibility to capture the ports on the Brittany peninsula.

8th Infantry Division History on Film

Our Series II DVD, Liberation of Western Europe begins here and ends at the end of November 1944 as the 8th Division participates in the battle for the Hurgten Forest. The contents of this video show the action as was recorded by the 165th and 166th Signal Photo Companies, during this historic operation. The military history footage in this video is intended to be strictly that of the 8th Infantry Division and only shows other unit footage when two or more units are intertwined. Combat Reels has researched and compiled all of this raw combat film footage, then reformatted it into the DVD format for your viewing pleasure.
