Within another post, Joe a member of the 3rd Inf Division had asked if I had read the latest issue of WWII Mag that had an article on Berchestgaden and his infantry unit. Anyway, I thought this deserved a spot of its own and am including the article from that issue, along with another link that relates to the truth about who was there first.
You can download the PDF file from me or read the same article on History.net
On the History.net site:
The Eagle's Nest - The Last Great Prize (this link if no longer viable - Please use my downloadable link below)
Or download here for a printable copy. It will take a while to download because of it's size. Some of you were having a problem with the file because it was damaged. I have since replaced it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
