The 329th Infantry Regiment was a unit of the United States Army during World War II. It was part of the 83rd Infantry Division.

During World War II, Lt. Sam Magill facilitated the mass surrender of 20,000 German troops on the banks of the Loire River on September 17, 1944.

Brigader General John Mauldin was the regimental surgeon during World War II. He took more than 400 photographs between the time the unit landed in England eight days after D-Day until Germany was liberated in 1946.

General George Patton reviewed the 329th and concluded “That’s the finest body of soldiers I have ever seen in the field.”

The 329th Infantry Regiment was the closest US unit to Berlin at the end of World War II, being ordered to stop some 30 miles short of the city.
