3rd Algerian Infantry Division
The 3rd Algerian Infantry Division ((フランス語:3e Division d'Infanterie Algérienne, 3e DIA)) was an infantry division of the French Army during the second half of the Second World War. The ''3e DIA'' had one of the most successful combat records of any French Army division during the Second World War. It paid a high price for this distinction, suffering more than 3,000 soldiers killed in action between 1942 and 1945. It was considered by Marshal Juin and General de Monsabert as the "worthy heir" of the Legio III Augusta.〔Alphonse Juin, Mémoires, Fayard, 1959, v1, p. 264〕
==History==
The division was formed in Algeria on May 1, 1943 from elements of the ''Constantine Division'' and the division was structured and equipped in a manner similar to, although not identical to, U.S. infantry divisions of the period. The primary combat units of the division as initially organized were the 3rd and 7th Algerian Tirailleur Regiments, and the 4th Tunisian Tirailleur Regiment.〔GUF, Vol. 4, p. 741〕 In March 1945, the 7th Algerian Tirailleurs returned to north Africa and its place was taken by the 49th Infantry Regiment.〔GUF, Vol. 5, Part 1, p. 17〕
The ''3e DIA'' fought within the French Expeditionary Corps in the Italian Campaign, the campaign in Southern France, the Vosges Mountains, and Alsace during 1943 - 1944 before spearheading the advance of the French II Corps into Germany and entering Stuttgart on April 22, 1945.
Part of the French occupation army in Germany, the ''3e DIA'' was inactivated and used to form a mixed infantry and armor division in April 1946.〔Réarmement, p. 117〕 The division's honors and traditions were carried on first by the 3rd Armored Division and then the 3rd Mechanised Brigade.
