Notes:
Author's Note: These campaign selections are made to facilitate pinpointing a unit's participation in a certain area of the front throught its time in service. Many of them, particulary those in the Pacific, Italy and Northwest Europe, correspond exactly to official U.S. Army campaign battle stars. Eastern Front campaigns are greatly increased in scope and usually correspond to a major battle or offensive.
(1) Due to the dificulty of pinpointing exact campaigns for certain German divisions, a generic Eastern Front campaign marker (EF) is sometimes used indicating the unit was fighting in the East.
