The 7th Armored Division fought from Normandy to the Lorraine in the summer of 1944. After a hard fight around the German fortress-city of Metz, they fought in the soggy battlefields of Holland. After a rest and refit with the new M4A3 Sherman models, the Lucky Seventh was back in action during the Battle of the Bulge, where it successfully fought German spearheads around St. Vith to a standstill.
