Battles were fought on every continent and involved more than 60 countries, affecting roughly three-quarters of the world's population. At least 57 million people were killed, more than half of them civilians." - Mitchell G. Bard, Ph. D. The 134th Infantry Regiment was a part of the 35th Infantry Division during World War II, along with its sister infantry regiments the 137th and the 320th. From the time the 134th Infantry Regiment landed at Omaha Beach on July 5- July 6, 1944 until they departed for the United States on the Queen Mary after the war's end on September 5, 1945, they liberated or captured 124 towns. In the process the 134th suffered more than 10,200 casualties including over 1,200 soldiers who were killed in action. The 134th Infantry Regiment Combat History of World War II is no longer in print. The copy I have belonged to my father, Harry A. Krantz, who served as a Combat Medic with the 134th during World War II. It contains a wealth of information about the 134th Infantry Regiment. All of the Regimental Personnel Rosters found on this website have been transcribed from this book. A transcription of the entire book appears in the HISTORY section of this website. Links to photographs from each chapter appear after the text in the individual chapters. Group photos from the appendix of the book appear in the PHOTO section of this website. Also posted on this website is the unit history of the 35th Infantry Division, "Presenting the 35th Infantry Division in World War II - 1941 to 1945" The table of contents for this book appears in the HISTORY section. This website is dedicated to my father and to all of the brave men who served with the 134th Infantry Regiment. "Let them not be forgotten for they have shown the world that freedom is never free"
