About: 4th Armored Division (United States)

An Entity of Type: Armor Branch (United States), from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 4th Armored Division was an armored division of the United States Army that earned distinction while spearheading General Patton's Third Army in the European theater of World War II. The 4th Armored Division, unlike most other U.S. armored divisions during World War II, did not officially adopt a nickname for the division during the war. However, their unofficial nickname "Name Enough" came into use postwar; the division commander having said, "Fourth Armored Division was name enough"; "They shall be known by their deeds alone." The 4th was named the "Breakthrough" division in 1954, but that name was eventually discontinued.

  • Die 4th Armored Division (deutsch 4. US-Panzerdivision; Spitzname: Name Enough bzw. Patton’s Vanguard) gehörte zu den gepanzerten Großverbänden, die im Zuge der sich zuspitzenden Kriegsgefahr Anfang der 1940er-Jahre durch die Vergrößerung der US-Armee entstanden. Nach der Ankunft auf dem europäischen Kriegsschauplatz nahm die Panzerdivision an verschiedenen Schlachten teil und erwarb sich dabei ihren Ruf als General George S. Pattons Speerspitze. Aus der Einsatzgeschichte stechen besonders die Einsätze in Lothringen und den Ardennen heraus. Aufgestellt im April 1941, folgte die 4. US-Panzerdivision der 1. und 2. US-Panzerdivision (beide 1940) zeitgleich mit der 3. US-Panzerdivision. (de)
