The 80th Infantry Division is a part of the American Army from World War II. The only known commander is Sergeant Mason. The 80th appears in Call of Duty: World at War: Final Fronts.
Ettelbruck, Luxembourg
The first confirmed engagement of the 80th Infantry Division was at Ettelbruck, Luxembourg, on 23 December 1944. Its mission was to capture the town and thus secure important routes. In this battle, the 80th additionally received tank support from Baker Company. Right at the beginning of the battle, the 80th ran into problems and was on the verge of a retreat. Sergeant Mason, however, pulls his squad under a bridge and then across an open field to avoid the MG42 gunners. With the help of Baker’s tanks, they are then able to take the marketplace in the center of town. With the capture of Ettelbrück, the 80th Infantry Division gets another whole cache of weapons from the Germans.
Braunnau on the Inn
On February 7, 1945, the 80th gets the order to destroy the rockets in the center of town. At 7:00 a.m., the tanks of the 80th Infantry Division roll across the bridge into Braunnau, Austria. Then, in the middle of the bridge, a German bomber flies over the tanks and destroys them. Now the 80th had no tank support and had to march on foot through Braunnau. They fight their way through the barricade in front of them and then come to a house heavily guarded by German soldiers. With the help of the MG42 they can then advance and make their way to the bunker. In front of the bunker the 80th then gets air support and can thus advance more easily through the bunker to the rockets. At the halfway point the soldiers hear the first rocket launch and have to hurry even more to catch the second one. Just before the launch of the second rocket, a soldier of the 80th Infantry Division managed to attach an explosive device to the rocket and destroy it.
Trivia
- It could well be that the 80th Infantry Division was also active in the mission At Elite Speed to Bastogne, but this has not been confirmed
Call of Duty
The Call of Duty series has existed since 2003 and in addition to various spin-offs, including for the handheld systems Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, 14 major titles of the series have now been released. Ever since the first part of the series, great emphasis has been placed on the online multiplayer mode in addition to the single-player campaign, which is also reflected in the development of the shooter series. Since the first Call of Duty, World at War, which was developed exclusively by Treyarch, each part also included cooperative challenges that you could play together with friends. The latest installment, Call of Duty: World War II, also features an extended multiplayer mode that puts you and your friends in the combat zones and famous battles of World War II. Using the divisions, you’ll be able to choose between the deadly sniper and the brute armored division and support your comrades in battle. In addition, World War II also has a zombie mode “Nazi Zombies”, as in its predecessor Call of Duty: Black Ops. Face the monsters of the Third Reich and win glory and honor.
