Wasn't that Task Force Herran? All of the outfits that fought in Nordwind fought like tigers . I used to like in Alsace when i was a kid and I have to say, it was obvious that what was not blasted in WW1 took the rest 1n 1944-45.

Nice to know someone who stopped them. Thanks

"Wasn't that Task Force Herren?"

TF Herren and TF Linden were there. TF Herren was on our left flank in December 1944. They were a part of another Division as we were. During the Nazi January offensive we were relieving each other in different areas. I think elements of each were swapped back and forth. We were finally relieved from the front on January 26 by the 377th Regiment of the 101st Airborne.

On January 30 we went to France to reorganize, get replacements, fix ordnance, zeroing weapons,etc. 28 men received battlefield promotions. A litle R&R [I had a pass to Paree where I got tickets from the Red Cross to the Follies Bergere to see their braless 'Rockettes' - business as usual in Paris].
