Chaque nom est accompagn\u00e9 de son grade, de son unit\u00e9 et de son \u00c9tat d’origine. Parmi eux se trouve le Bishop Edgar W CPL, 746th Tank BN Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 travers ces pages, je m’efforce de retracer son parcours en France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/i>746th Tank BN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pendant la guerre en Europe, l’arm\u00e9e de terre des \u00c9tats-Unis a \u00e9quip\u00e9 un total de 15 divisions blind\u00e9es et 39 bataillons de chars ind\u00e9pendants. La lutte contre les chars ennemis \u00e9tait principalement confi\u00e9e \u00e0 des chasseurs de chars, ou \u00ab Tank Destroyers \u00bb, au sein des divisions blind\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’appui de l’infanterie constituait la mission principale des bataillons de chars ind\u00e9pendants, comme le 746e Bataillon de chars. Lors de la bataille de Normandie, les unit\u00e9s d\u2019infanterie ont confirm\u00e9 que le soutien fourni par les chars \u00e9tait essentiel pour d\u00e9truire les points de r\u00e9sistance allemands construits dans le bocage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 partir de ce moment, et jusqu’\u00e0 la fin de la guerre en Europe, les bataillons de chars ind\u00e9pendants ont \u00e9t\u00e9 rattach\u00e9s \u00e0 autant de divisions d\u2019infanterie que possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le 746e Bataillon de chars \u00e9tait l’un des cinq bataillons de chars ind\u00e9pendants ayant d\u00e9barqu\u00e9 en Normandie le 6 juin 1944. Il a particip\u00e9 aux combats dans tout le nord de l’Europe jusqu’au 8 mai 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
