Does anyone have information on Marine Corps units involved in the European Theater during WWII? I know there were some involved, like the 3rd Parachute BN IIRC but I am curious about other units and the campaigns they were involved in.
It seems that when WWII is spoken about it is quickly divided into the theaters and rarely are the Marines mentioned for the ETO and likewise the Army in the PTO (save for CBI) even though units like the 77th Infantry were in the PTO (the 77th is the unit Ernie Pyle was with when he was killed.)
