  • The 20th Armored Division was an armored division of the United States Army in World War II. It was activated on 15 March 1943 at Camp Campbell in Kentucky. The Division has no real nickname although it did associate itself with the nickname "Armoraiders" while in training at Camp Campbell. (Nickname information taken from the 18 March 1944 issue of the Camp Campbell Newspaper, Retreat to Taps.) After certification as a liberating division by the Center of Military History on October 28, 1988, and the awarding of a Liberation Certificate by the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, veterans of the division adopted the name LIBERATORS as a Division Motto.
