There were those who doubted whether National

Guard Units could hold up like regular U.S. Army units

in wartime. Routinely assigned missions where the

odds were stacked heavily against them, the 175th

Regiment-29th Infantry Division not only silenced the

doubters, they went on to gain a reputation as one of

the fiercest fighting units of World War II.

This is the story of one infantryman of the 175th-Forest S.

Birch-as told to the author, his son, John F. Birch-over a period of

many years, culminating in a recorded interview, made on June 6,

1994 (50th anniversary of the D-Day beach landings). The transcript

of the interview is included.
