Thunderstixx sniffled a little over my post of the Army’s WWII tanker training film.<\/p>\n

How come you never do anything for us US Army 9th Infantry Division Ski Instructors ???\u00a0I\u2019m crushed\u2026<\/p>\n

I did due diligence on this, but found that there weren\u2019t any 9th<\/sup> Infantry Ski Instructors, because the ski instructors were training the 10th<\/sup> Mountain Infantry. Of course, if anyone can provide some resource on winter wonderland training for the 9th, I will be happy to post it. The 10th Infantry was formed during WWI, then deactivated, and reactivated for WWII as the 10th Mountain Infantry.<\/p>\n

This article is a very good read, with photos from the authors that they shot during their campaign in northern Italy into the Po Valley, which the Germans had occupied. There are a couple of photos showing troops hiking up a road to the next objective, with dead German soldiers lying off to the side.<\/p>\n

It is a good, straightforward story, with no excuses made for anything. Just the facts, with photos included. It’s worth your time to read it completely, so get a cup of your favorite caffeinated beverage and some munchies and settle in.<\/p>\n

In re: the 9th Infantry: while they did participate in WWII in northern Africa, Sicily, Ardennes, and other spots in Europe, and they are most recently noted for their time in Vietnam. But that’s another story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
