Champagne Campaign

A military assignment of what was left of the 442nd Regiment at the end of 1944 to guard a part of southern France. The mission covered the seaside Alps down to French Riviera - a cush locale for a weekend pass.

After fighting the brutal Battle of the Bulge, the surviving members of the 442nd dubbed their new effort in the war The Champagne Campaign for the luxurious surroundings and ready supply of alcohol and women in Nice and local towns.
