They were sent to the Cotentin Peninsula on June 14, 1944 and took up defensive positions there. In July the Corps took part in Operation Cobra where it made major breakthroughs. The Corps was beaten up in Battles in Eastern France and was shifted to the Ardennes region. The German attack in December 1944 struck the heart of their lines. Though outnumbered, VIII Corps personnel fought hard and slowed the German advance. They suffered an enormous amount of casualties in the process of blunting the German advance. After the Bulge, the Corps attacked into Germany and captured the Schnee Eifel. They pushed across Germany until they came into contact with Russian patrols on May 6th.
