The Big Red One 
on D-Day

The U.S. Army's First Infantry Division lived up to its name on June 6, 1944 by being the first troops to land on the beaches of Normandy during the D-Day invasion.

Paul Herbert is joined by authors Joseph Balkoski, John C. McManus, and Steven Zaloga for this discussion of the Army's oldest division. In continuous service since 1917, "The Big Red One" has a long and storied history. For thisCitizen Soldier taping, we examine the First Infantry Division's impressive service during World War II, with particular focus on their role in the D-Day landings.
