From mid-1944 into 1945, the U.S. 7th Army operated in France and Germany as part of the Allied liberation of the European continent. Stationed in Italy early in 1944, though relatively inactive, the 7th conducted amphibious landings against the southern shores of France in August of 1944. Pressing northwards in a rapid mobile advance, it joined the main Allied line at its southernmost point in the area of Alsace-Lorraine just north of Switzerland. In late 1944 and 1945, it advanced into Germany, moving east then south, before linking up with American troops in northern Italy at the war's end.
