The 165th infantry regiment was part of the 27th Infantry Division, composed largely of New York national guard units. They fought in the Pacific in the Bismark Archipeligo, the Philippines, on Saipan (where they faced the last and largest Japanese banzei charge of the war), and Okinawa. On Saipan they were under the command of Marine General Holland Smith, whose contempt for the US Army was legendary.

What did the 165th combat engineers battalion do in the war in 1945?

165th Combat Engineers landed in St Germain 27JUL44 and served in Germany as Engineers for the 2nd Free French Infantry in the Liberation Of Strassburg 24-30NOV44, among so many other duties. Please look for website dedicated to this forgotten unit in the near future. My grandfather was a SSGT in this unit and I am still trying to transcibe all his notes, and the unit also has a book that was printed called "IS THIS IT" by Richard Ross Reibert. I also have a unit map and alot of pictures. The unit was born at Camp Dorn on 5May43, and was commanded by LTC Charles Schilling. For more information please email 165thcombatengww2@gmail.com


Was the 165th Engineer Combat Battalion involved in the Battle of the Bulge?

They were in Nordwind, the German offensive south of the Bulge near Strasbourg in Alsace. They were still working primarily as the combat engineer battalion assigned to Gen. LeClerc's 2nd French Armored Division, as they had been since arriving in Normandy with Patton's Third Army in late July/early August. After the liberation of Paris, they were assigned to Gen. Patch's 7th Army and took part in the liberation of Strasbourg, the Vosges Campaign, etc. 7th filled the wide gap in the Allies' lines when Patton raced north during the Battle of the Bulge. January-March were hard months for the 165th and 7th Army. The 165th lost a number of men, though they did not have to man the line as infantrymen as they had done earlier north of Paris, at least to my knowledge.
