825th Tank Destroyer Battalion
The 825th Tank Destroyer Battalion was a tank destroyer battalion of the United States Army active during the Second World War. It was organized as a towed battalion, with 3" anti-tank guns, and initially saw service during the Battle of Normandy as a rear-area security unit. Parts of the unit were sent into combat as part of an ad hoc task force on 16 December 1944, on the northern flank of the Ardennes Offensive, where it defended Amblève river bridges at Malmedy and Stavelot. It returned to security duties at the end of January 1945, and served in rear areas for the remainder of the war.
==Early service==
The battalion was activated in August 1942, and organized as a "towed" battalion with 3" anti-tank guns in July 1943.〔Nafziger, p. 3〕 It sailed for the United Kingdom in May 1944 aboard the ''Queen Elizabeth'', landed at Utah Beach on 29 July 1944, and was assigned to guarding rear areas of Third Army in the Cotentin Peninsula.〔Letter from a man of the unit quoted in (''Letters from the Front'' ), "American Voices", PBS.〕 After the breakout in August, it continued security duties, but with the start of the Ardennes Offensive in December it was moved to the front and committed to combat.〔Yeide, p. 281〕
