I don't know how many of the first 20 armored division were organized in time to participate in World War 2, but I do not find any reference to the US 19th Armored Division. Also, checked a Department of Army manual used to establish credit for campaign ribbons and it does not list the 19th Armored Division. There was a 19th Armored Battalion of the 14th Armored Division, which saw service with the 7th ARMY in these campaigns: (1) Ardennes-Alsace, (2) Central Europe and (3)Rhineland. For details on the organization command above this division, see the following link. http://www.14tharmoreddivision.org/ Commands found at bottom of this page: http://www.14tharmoreddivision.org/ob14adeto.htm
