In September 1944, the 2nd  Rangers were attached to the 8th Infantry Division to assist in clearing
out the German resistance on the Crozon Peninsula. After accomplishing other objectives and
rescuing 400 American prisoners, the battalion left for Landerneau, France.


Rangers were subject to physical, emotional and mental exercises while in training. The best became Rangers, the rest were sent back to their former units, with no shame on them.
