Hello,
La 9th Infantry Division était bien présente, avec les 60th et 47th Infantry Regiments qui avec le 39th Infantry Regiment forment l'infanterie de la 9th ID.
Maintenant, à toi de cherche de ton côté sur des sites sur la 9th ID ( il y en a pas mal, mais seulement en anglais, sauf exeptions ).
Voilà ce que j'ai trouvé sur un site dédié au 60th Inf. ( http://www.60thinfantry.com )
1944
Going in at UTAH beach, the unit did not land on D-Day but rather went in on June 10, 1944. They were committed to action on June 14th. The job of the 60th was to aid as much as possible the cutting of the Cotentin Peninsula. The regiment immediately began working from village to village, ejecting German defenders as they went. From Utah Beach, the unit started moving east, securing the Douve line. This phase of operations lasted from 14-16 June, 1944. Beginning near Renouf, the 60th pushed northwest towards Reigneville. From there they shot west to Ste. Colombe. In the town of Ste. Colombe, the unit secured a series of three bridges over the Douve River. Encountering continued resistance from the town of Nehou to the west, the unit went directly into the village of Nehou. From here, during June 17-18 the regiment split into three battalions and proceeded to cut the peninsula. The Second Battalion went west towards hill 145, securing the hill near the town of St. Pierre-d'Arthglise. The First Battalion went west towards hill 133, securing it. Finally, the Third Battalion pushed into the town of Barneville-Sur Mer, providing the final cut in the Contentin Peninsula. From 19-21 June 1944, the 60th advanced north, toward the town of Cherbourg. On June 19th, the 60th had set a front line, extending from the west to the east, and just to the north of the village of Helleville. Advancing toward Cherbourg, by the 21st of June, the regiment had pushed the line north, to the village of Gourbesville. The final drive on Cherbourg took place from 22-26 June 1944. The First Battalion was positioned with the second battalion in the village of Gourbesville. The Third Battalion was to the northwest, in the village of Haut Biville. The first and second battalions pushed out from Gourbesville line abreast, with the second battalion to the north, and the first battalion on the south side. Both units were moving west toward Cherbourg. The third battalion continued on the northern flank of the second battalion. By the night of the 22nd, the first and second battalions established themselves on a north south line starting just north of Acqueville, and extending north to the Gourbesville/Flottmanville-Hague Road. By the night of the 23rd. the 60th was on the northwest side of Flottmanville-Hague. At this time the 60th held position, allowing the 39th and 47th Infantry Regiments to take the town of Cherbourg. The 60th worked the high ground around Cherbourg to the northwest, cleaning up concrete emplacements, trenches and mine fields. After the taking of Cherbourg on 26 June, the unit continued their peninsula clearing operations until 30 June. At this time, they moved into the town of Jobourg, on the tip of the Cape De La Hague, to the west of the city of Cherbourg. The 60th took a seven day break at Les Pieux. On the 9th of July, the unit assembled south of Carentan and prepared for new operations. After the breakthrough at St. Lo, the unit pressed on to cross the Seine River at the town of Melun. They then crossed the Marne river at Meaux. Finally, the 60th arrived at the Belgium border, and proceeded to cross it north of the town of Hirson, France on 2 September, 1944. It was the 4th of September, 1944 when the 60th contacted the enemy again, near Givet, Belgium. The German Army retreated across the Meuse River. After intense fighting, the 60th established a bridgehead near St. Masil. On the 6th of September, the 60th made first contact with the Siegfried Line, with reconnaissance units. By the 17th of September, the first position on the Seigfried Line, Hofen, fell to the 60th Regiment. Alzen fall also, but with a heavy toll of prisoners. One pillbox alone took twelve hours of incessant pounding to force it's occupants to surrender. On the night of 4 October, the 60th was poised to attack towards the German towns of Germeter and Vossenbach. The final goal was control of the Roer Dams. On the 6th of October, the battle for the dams began. This battle took such a toll on the 60th that it had to be relieved. The Go-Devils fell back to Camp Elsenborn. They stayed here until 10 December, when the all out attack on the dams began. Six days later, the battle was over and the 60th found themselves on the west bank of the Roer River.
Si tu veux, je peux regarder ce que Blumenson dit sur Barneville dans son livre " Breakout & Poursuit ".

Désolé, mais il n'y a aucun 350eme Rgt. dans la 90eme DI.
Par contre, il y a les 3 régiments d'infanterie : 359e - 358e et 357e.
Je pense que tu parlais du 359e, une faute de frappe, c'est pas grave.

Oui, c'est bien une faute de frappe, excusez-moi.
Ce qui est étonnant, c'est que dans ma littérature, ils me parlent de la 357ème et non pas de la 359ème :?
