The 3rd Infantry Division, known by its historic nickname «Rock of the Marne» fought extensively in the Mediterranean and European theaters from 1943 to 1945, participating in the landings at Anzio, advancing through Rome and Florence during the Italian campaign, and later taking part in Operation Dragoon, landing in southern France near Toulon in August 1944. Continuing the advance into Germany, the division engaged enemy forces along the Siegfried Line and ultimately advanced toward the Alpine region and the Brenner Pass in the final phase of the war.
