Thanks Marion, That map was very helpful. I have ordered "Bitter Woods" at your suggestion. I am really a rookie at WWII. (Now the US Civil War is a whole other kettle of fish)
Erwin. According to what the nice person sent me, the was initially assigned to the 15th Army on 1/8/45 and then assigned to the 1st Army on 2/15 |(The month and day of my birthday!!) and then to the 9th on 2/26 and thenon 4/1 back to the 15th assigned to 12th Corp. They arrived in France New Years day of 45.
The other thing that puzzles me on the little blurb he sent is the use of numbers as a place reference.- M|V505-217 and S141396.
I have lots of research to do now that I have the basic info....
