The Eighty-Eighth Infantry Division, also known as the Blue Devil Division, was a unit of the United States Army during World War II. Activated in 1942, it was primarily composed of soldiers from various states and trained for combat in Europe. The division participated in several key battles, including the Battle of the Bulge and the Rhine River crossing. After the war, the division was inactivated in 1946. It was later reactivated as a reserve unit and has since been associated with various training and support roles. The division's legacy continues to be honored by veterans and military historians.
