Additional Notes: The United States 7th (VII) Army Corps of the United States Army was one of the two principal corps of the United States Army Europe during the Cold War. Activated in 1918 for WW1, it was reactivated for WW2 and again during the Cold War. During both WW2 and the Cold War it was subordinate to the Seventh Army.
The VII Army Corps return to continental Europe took place on D-Day in June of 1944, as one of the two assault corps for the US First Army during Operation Overlord, targeting Utah Beach via amphibious assault. For Overlord, the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions were attached to VII Corps. After the Battle of Normandy, the airborne units were assigned to the newly created XVIII Airborne Corps. Subsequently, VII Corps participated in many battles during the advance across France; this included taking 25,000 German prisoners during the Battle of the Mons Pocket in early September of 1944. The corps subsequently took part in the invasion of Germany until the surrender of the Third Reich in May of 1945.
