Re: What is your favorite division in either army and why?
-French 1st DFL and 3rd DIA and 2nd armored division
-American 101th airborne, 1st infantry division
-British 4th indian division (impressive)
I don't what to choose, i'll say:
1st DFL: This division included the 13rd DBLE of Narvik and Bir Hakeim. They then thought at El-Alamein while other brigade fought in East africa. Then the division fought in the CEF in Italy.
After that was the battle for provence, an the Vosges before the heroic defense of Strasbourg. Then it was the Colmar pocket with was finally collapse and the difficult battles in the Alps.
The division lost 4000 KIA and much more wounded.
I don't if it is an objective choice but it is my choice.
Other units I like are the GTM (groupements de tabors marocains) which aren't divisional.
