"German soldiers were simply physically exhausted. They didn’t have another battle in them." And yet some of them were sent to blunt the invasion of Italy??
BTW, one of those "physically exhausted Germans" is 89 & lives in Fishers, IN.

At least they could rest en route. Totenkopf and Das Reich, along with 3rd Panzer, went straight to the Mius to support 6th Army. They got no rest.
I live in Fishers and would be interested in meeting the German vet.
