'Colorado's 10th Mountain Division'

The Manitou Springs Heritage Center proudly announces a slide presentation, “Colorado’s 10th Mountain Division”, by Colonel Tom Duhs.

The Colorado 10th Mountain Division, a World War II group of skiers and mountaineers, was trained and employed to fight the Germans in Italy. The Division was established in July 1943 at Camp Hale, Colorado near Leadville. It went to Italy at the end of 1944 and stayed until the end of the war.

The event is co-sponsored by the Pikes Peak Library District and the Manitou Springs Heritage Center. Donations benefit the Manitou Springs Heritage Center.
