REGIMENTAL INSIGNIA

The revised Regimental Insignia on the title page symbolizes the history

of this Regiment through two World Wars.

The half of Infantry Blue is taken directly from the original insignia

approved and adopted after World War I. The tree and cross represent

the fighting in France at the Battles of the Argonne and St. Mihiel

respectively. For World War I three battle stars.

In the new shield the Lightning Flash of the 78th Division has been·

extended to penetrate a line of dragon's teeth depicting the Siegfried

Line and plunging deep into enemy territory. The first and last missions

of the Regiment in Germany are represented by the pine tree for the

Battle of the Ardennes, and the iron · cross for the victorious Army of

Occupation. For World War II three battle stars.

The most dramatic incident in the history of the Regiment was the sur-

prise crossing of the Rhine. This is symbolized in the crest by the Luden-

dorff Bridge at Remagen. The motto "HEADS UP" and all the other new

features of the Insignia were proposed and selected by combat veterans

of the Regiment in World War II and approved by a representative of

the combat veterans of the Regiment in World War I.

The new insignia has been submitted to the Quartermaster General in

Washington for adoption.

TO THOSE MEN OF THE REGIMENT

WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THIS WAR

MORE TERRIBLE THAN ALL THE WORDS

(A n A m e r i c a n S o l d i e r w r i t e s t o h i s Son.)

MY SON:

'War is a more terrible thing than all the words of man can say; more
terrible than a man's mind can comprehend.

It is the corpse of a friend; one moment ago a living human being with
thoughts, hopes, and a futm:e-just exactly like yourself-now
nothing.

It is the eyes of men after battle, like muddy water, lightless.

It is cities-labor of generations lost-now dusty piles of broken stones

and splintered wood-dead.

It is the total pain of a hundred million parted loved ones-some for

always.

It is the impossibility of planning a future; uncertainty that mocks every

hoping dream.

Remember! It is the reality of these things-not the words.

It is the sound of an exploding shell; a moment's silence, then the searing

scream "MEDIC" passed urgently from throat to throat.

It is the groans and the pain of the w·ounded, and the expressions on
their faces.

It is the sound of new soldiers crying before battle; the louder sound of
their silence afterwards.

It is the filth and itching and hunger; the endless body discomfort; the
feeling like an animal; the fatigue so deep that to die would be good.

8
'

•
 It is battle, which is confusion, fear, hate, death, misery and much more.

The reality-not the words. Remember!

It is the evil snickering knowledge that sooner or later the law of

averages will catch up with each soldier, and the horrible hope that
it will take the form of a wound, not maiming or death.

It is boys of 19 who might be in the schoolroom or flirting in the park;

husbands who might be telling their wives of a raise---tender and
happy-eyed; fathers who might be teaching their sons to throw a
ball-bright with pride. It is these men, mouths and insides ugly with
hate and fear, driving a bayonet into other men's bodies.

It is "battle fatigue," a nice name for having taken more than the brain
and heart can stand, and taking refuge in a shadowy unreal world.

It is the maimed coming home; dreading pity, dreading failure, dread-

ing life.

It is many million precious years of human lives lost; and the watching
of the loss day by day, month by month, year by year, until hope
is an ugly sneering thing.

Remember! Remember and multiply these things by the largest number

you know. Then repeat them over and ever again until they are
alive and burning in your mind.

Remember! Remember what we are talking about. Not words; not sol-
diers; but human beings just exactly like yourself.
And when it is in your mind so strongly that you can never forget;
then seek how you can best keep peace. Work at this hard with
every tool of thought and love you have. Do not rest until you can
, say to every man who ever died for man's happiness: "You did not
die in vain."

INTRODUCTION
SECTION I: THE 31QTH INFANTRY IN WORLD WAR I

The 310th Infantry Regiment has

fought in more than one war.
This history is primarily an account
of the present 310th Infantry Reg-
iment in World War II, but there
is a story to tell of an earlier 310th
Regiment which carried the same
Regimental Colors into battle
against the German enemy in
World War I.
Let's take a quick look at our
comrades-in-arms of another ge-
neration. During the Fall of 1917,
the 310th Infantry Regiment was
activated and trained at Fort Dix, New Jersey. It was not until late
Spring of 1918 that the Regiment sailed for Europe, and by September of
that year they had moved by stages to the American sector of the
Western Front.
The first combat assignment of· the 310th Regiment was a holding
mission in the Limey Sector. Here, they relieved the 6th Regiment of
Marines; the great St. Mihiel Offensive was on.
The Limey Sector proved to be a difficult position to hold. The hard
ground in the area was unsuitable for deep entrenchments and casualties
ran high from German artillery.
On September 21st, a battalion mission of taking the important objective
of "Nom Plaisir Ferme" was executed by elements of the Regiment. The
mission as outlined for the Infantry Battalion was carried out as planned,
but casualties were very heavy. In this area the Germans had a pre-
ponderance of artillery support as well as control of the air.
The Regiment was on the march by October 5, and their next assignment
was in the La Viergette Crossroads Sector in the Argonne. On October
15th the 310th Infantry relieved the 306th Regiment in the line north of
the Aire River: Everywhere preparations for the mighty Meuse-Argonne
Offensive were intense.
The 310th Infantry moved out in the attack in their zone on Octo-
ber 16th, taking their objective by dark. The general American attack

13
 --
on the key Bois des Loges objective bogged down after a four day
assault, and the period from October 21 to November 1st was consumed
mainly by patrol and reconnaissance activity.
By November 1st, it was time to move again. The Regiment resumed, the
attack, and successfully gained their first objective in the Bois des Loges.
After the second day of attack another important objective was secured.
Both attacks had resulted in a great cost of lives, but the Germans were
thrown into retreat-the pursuit was on. By November 5th, the Regiment
had done its job and was relieved by the 42nd Division, who continued
the pursuit, until November 11th.
The Combat Commanders of the 310th Infantry Regiment in World
War I were as follows:
Major General James H. McRae 78th Division CQlllmander
Colonel Walter C. Babcock 310th Regimental Commander

At the present time, and throughout the period between the two wars,
the Veterans organizatio~ of the 310th Infantry and the 78th Division
have been quite active. Frequent reunions and annual meetings have
kept alive the spirit of comradeship engendered during the days of the
war, and the fellowship of the organizations have been a lasting pleasure
to the men who went "over-the-top" together in a common cause.
h

SECTION II: RE-ACTIVATION AND TRAINING OF THE

3IQTH INFANTRY

It was a very hot day in August, August 15, 1942, the day when the
310th Infantry was re-commissioned for another war. That day was called
Re-Activation Day. General Edwin P. Parker, Jr. proudly _presented the
Regimental Colors as the 310th Infantry was re-commissioned for another
war. Lots of men wilted in that sun-some with plenty of rank! Most of
the cadre had come from Camp Wheeler, Georgia, and Fort Bragg, North
Carolina.
There was a big job ahead for the officers and men who stood in that
formation that afternoon. The enemy, back in those days, was the mud
of Camp Butner, the administrative headache of forming a new division,
the complications of perfecting a workable training program with little
equiipment, and the general readjustment of everyone to a new kind
of life .
Between the months of August 1942 and March 1943, the Division
functioned in the capacity of a replacement pool. From everywhere,
thousands of enlisted men came to the Division. Some came from various
Infantry Replacement Training Centers, some from service units, all were
after furthe r training before going overseas. These men usually arrived

14
 with some six to thirteen weeks' training. The 78th Division would try
diligently to give them an additional three to six weeks' training before
their number came up for overseas duty. By March 1943, the Division
had trained and processed more than 52,000 soldiers for combat duty
with other units. We profited by this mission both from the experience
and from the augmentation of our cadre with selected men from the
replacement pool.

 A New Deal for the Division and the 310th Regiment started in March,
1943. Fresh from Reception Centers came strong, young men, mainly in
the 18 to 20 year age bracket. They were excellent recruits to add to
our experienced cadre.
Throughout the Spring and terrifically summer of that year, a fine
cadre of officers and non-commissioned officers of the regiment worked
I
to teach these men their basic infantry training. The training was
seemingly endless and weary cycle of long, hot hikes to distant firing
ranges, of lengthy, fatiguing and sleepless combat exercises, of long
hours of everything but recreation and pleasure.
In the Fall of that year, there were unit problems. The great" dry-battles"
of Moriah and Prince Edward Forest in Virginia were waged. Then came
the famous "D" Series in the hills of South Carolina. The men learned
to knock off 25 miles in eight hours with packs on their backs.
The final "graduation exercises" were held in Tennessee. Tennessee
Maneuvers in the dead of winter! From January 20, 1944 to March 29-it
was no time for a picnic. The lengthy tactical problems were a severe
hardship. There was incessant rain and penetrating cold, but the men
learned what was vital for them.to know. The 310th was a good outfit.
It had a fine maneuver record.
During the Maneuvers, the Regiment was being repeatedly called upon
for officers to go overseas as replacements. The officer turnover became
considerable. Little did we realize what was about to occur. The need
for replacements in combat theatres was grea_t. Congress decreed that
the 18 year olds in Replacement Training Centers could not be sent
overseas as replacements. The need had to be filled.
Then it happened! The regiment pulled into Camp Pickett, Virginia, on
April 1st, supposedly all set for combat duty. Two weeks later all the
Privates and Privates First Class left the regiment and were on their way
to Ports of Embarkation as replacements. Our "team" was broken up.
Most of them participated in D-Day landings in France. The drain on the
junior officer personnel was equally heavy. Everyone said, "the 78th
Division will never go overseas." It was a bitter pill to swallow.
The regiment received replacements again; they came from everywhere.
Most of them were ex-ASTP and Air Corps pre-flight men, suddenly trans-
ferred to Infantry. Some would have been pilots soon. They were a dis-
appointed group. The crying need for infantry replacements had de-
manded their services in a branch other than their choosing. It was hard
to come from comfortable college dormitories and go through the rigors
of infantry training and discipline. Naturally, morale was a problem, but
by the end of June, they were beginning to look like good fighting men.
But the ~10th Regiment had still another pill to swallow. In August,
another battle replacement requirement stripped the Regiment of half of
this latest group. Surely, this would end the 310th's chances of ever
moving as a unit!

16
 But again more replacements came, this time from Infantry. Replace-
ment Training Centers. There was little time for training now. The
provisions of POM were put into effect and tension was in the air. ·
At last, despite all rumors to the contrary, the 78th Division itself was
alerted for overseas shipment. The officers hardly knew their men in
some cases , and often the men hardly knew each other. The war had
come to these men in a hurry, and this was to be the fighting team that
would be shooting at Germans sixty days hence.

SECTION III: THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Writing the history of a combat regiment is not an easy thing. Recording

all the things that happened, telling why they did happen and doing
justice to all the superhuman effort expended in accomplishing the mis-
sions assigned the 310th Infantry Regiment is utterly impossible. The
men who played so vital a role as members of the 310th will understand
this, knowing th'a t their own experiences in just one day of battle would
fill volumes.
This book, therefore, is really the overall Regimental picture, or your
guide to more intimate explanation of what was going on all about
you within your Regimental sector. It may help to answer the queston
"Why" that so disturbed you during combat. Hardly ever during the
campaigns were the troops in that happy position where a full orient-
ation of what was going on could have been given. Even had it been
possible, constantly changing situations would have ·rendered void pre-
conceived notions of what was going tg take place..
The fighting man of the 310th may find this outline of help in answering
many of the things that heretofore appeared so unaccountable. It is
suggested that he enlarge upon the printed word by drawing from his
own experiences and observations as he rounds out the picture for his
family and friends. This is manifestly neccessary.
The· 'total stranger reading this history may find it sketchy, yet modern
war reporti.ng being what it is, there is the hope that prior knowledge
of the miserable doughboy's existence will suffice to augment this
cursory outline to a point where full visualization of the drama will
be yours.
Though the tendency is. to glorify and glamorize, there is no intention
in this record to deviate from the factual. Military necessity is a con-
venient phrase for summing up all judgments, be they born of actuality
or in anticipation of what may come to pass. The men who fought this
war were nothing more than you and I; human beings whose faculty
for decision and necessary action implies a reasonable probability of
error. This report readily admits that mistakes were made and a de-
liberate attempt has been maci.e to avoid coloring or finding plausible
excuses. In absolute fairness, it must be said whatever the mistake (and
there were few), they were unintentional errors that cropped up during
periods of unusual stress. Your narrators are willing to give odds that
there isn't a man amongst you veterans who won't admit that there
was at least one little incident that you might have done differently and
better too.
Come what may, war from the aspect of the Infantry is neither glorious
nor glamorous. The unusual was the usual, and each man in his own did
the unexpected.
Rather than enlarge the narrative by periodic references to elemental
descriptive matter, the constant insertion of which would clog the record,
it may be well to mention some of the cardinal things here.

18
 1
.I
Contrary to common belief, 65% of the enlisted men of this Regiment
were not seasoned infantry trainees, but rather had come to the organiz-
ation from other branches within three or four months before departure
from the States. While there may be some question as to the real training
value of maneuvers, there can be no doubt that hunger, loss of sleep, ·
exposure to the elements and actual physical hardships for long periods
was to be ·a new experience for these people. The same holds good for
the hundreds of replacements that came to the Regiment during combat,
particularly after the "Bulge" had drained the replacement pools. These
men had to learn the hard way, and from scratch.
Pain and suffering is not necessarily confined to physical injury or de-
bility. More often it is manifested by little things taken for granted. Only
the doughboy knows what it is to tire of K rations and how welcome
I hot chow can be (even though the so-called "hot chow" was prepared
hours ago, comes in thermal cans, and is shared with two or three buddies
but of the same mess kit). The dough's first shock with reality of combat
comes when he turns in to the common dump all his personal belongings,
those duffle bags that have broken his back with the wellstocked, care-
fully marked clothing he's been responsible for, and, he's left with the
clothes on his back, a raincoat and an extra pair of socks that help make
up his combat pack.
The participants of these campaigns will well remem,ber how it was
consider~d inadvisable to wear an overcoat even in this freezing weather.
The Germans wore long overcoats, and any man seen in an overcoat
might be shot on sight-with no questions asked.
It will be well remembered how changing a pair of socks in a water-
filled. foxhole was a Herculean task; how baths or shaving was something
to dream about, and where performing the necessary normal body
functions was a reversion to the primitive
And can it ever be forgotten what letters from home meant; and how the
Battle of the .Bulge delayed the mail. Then, there were the famous PX
rations and those strange bottles of Coca-Cola. Opening them was like
I
Christmas morning under the Chriftmas tree.
These are but a few of the things left out of the history. They must,
however, be understood before there can be a true realization of what
is meant by being "in the line".
At the outset, too, apologies are offered to the officers and men whose
names will unintentionally be omitted, but whose arduous efforts contri-
buted so much to victory.
If, however, this recital serves as a ~uide for taking you through
128 days of continuous combat, resulting in 200 percent casualties in
some companies, or acts as a memento of hard bays, when any hour
might have been the last hour, it will have fulfilled its purpose.
A word about your authors:
Somebody has to take the blame for all the things that are said, should
have been said, or are told incorrectly in your individual opinion. Rather
than have you blame the wrong people, we've decided to identify our-
I selves.

L
CHAP .T ER ONE
IN WHICH WE GO TO GERMANY

After Camp Pickett, there was one last stop beforeEurope. On October 5,
the 78th Division became the guest of Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. Kilmer
was the hush-hush Port of Embarkation. No one dared breath the sacred
word of "Kilmer," for fear a German torpedo would strike them, even
on dry land. Military security and army intelligence precautions were
the rage of the day. Everyone cooperated, even though some of the
measures appeared extreme. The phrase "310th Infantry" was strictly
taboo.
Camp Kilmer was a depressing place. At least, most people thought so.
All of the tamp's great array of .hired help seemed to be feverishly
plotting to get everyone else to the battle front. And they were, but
definitely. Kilmer had its bright spots, however. The men from New
Jersey and New York could make it home on twelve hour passes, and
there were several. Lots of men from other sections of the country saw
New York City for their first time; had their last glorious fling; found
that it was quite expensive to "fling" in New York.
By October 12, it was "Germaqs, here we come!" We were on our way
now. When would we see home again?
The Regiment boarded trains at Kilmer, headed northeast for New York
Harbor. Several hours later, it had detrained, caught a quick glimpse
of the New York skyline, crossed the Hudson by ferry, and walked
onto the pier.
Nothing glamorous, this dimly lit shed-like pier with a small opening
in the side where the gang plank, came in. At the gang plank, an
officer called out last names, long lines of sober faced soldiers re-
sponded with their first name and middle initial. Some were out of
breath from the excessive weight imposed by the copious quantities

21
of equipment and duffle strapped all over them. They were moaning
and groaning at the momentary discomforts. Indeed, there was m<:>re
to come!
The ship elected to taxi the 310th Infantry to a second war in twenty-
five years was the General George 0. Squier, a naval transport.
The USS Squier remained in dock all that night and the next day, and
finally pulled out after dark on Friday, the 13th. Saturday morning there
was nothing to be seen but waves and 20-odd ships in the convoy. No
one had been allowed on deck to see the Statue of Liberty.
The trip was not pleasant. The Squier was a sturdy navy transport,
designed for carrying as many troops as possible in the minimum
amount of space. The men were jammed into four and five decked cot-
furnished compartments going four decks down.
Chow was twice daily for those who felt well enough to face the evil-
smelling galley and sweat out the line which wound twice around the
decks. Other activities were speculation as to whether the destination
was England or France, classes in orientation, a little training, reading,
watching the water, card games, getting rid of the previous meal, guard
and KP.
On a certain day the ship's Captain received debarking orders, and the
310th was told it would debark at Plymouth, England.
The Squier moved slowly into the picturesque Plymouth Harbor on the
morning of October 25th. England looked good and thousands of men
jammed the rails to watch the landing, and eye the British women and
soldiers along the docks. A British band played American tunes as the
slow unloading was accomplished. Land was pleasant after 12 days of
rocking decks. Our advance detachment, which had sailed a few weeks
ahead on the "Aquitania" waited for us on shore.
Loading into the small compartmented, but comfortable English trains
occupied the afternoon and evening, , but once moving, the trains tra-
velled rapidly and arrived at Bournemouth in short order. The deserted
blacked-out stations and towns along the tracks made the war seem
closer.
The Brd Battalion detrained in Bournemouth and the remainder of the
troops in the Bournemouth suburb of Christ' Church, from where they
walked, still with pack and duffle bag, to Southbourne. All troops were
billeted in empty English homes and hotels.
Life was pleasant for the next 26 days. There were training or work
details during the day, but the nights were free, the British families and
the girls very hospitable; the beer was plentiful, though weak and a little
warm. The 310th was sorry to leave, and many broken-hearted young
girls said goodbye ' to 310th soldiers with tears in their eyes.
At 0300 November 21, the 310th went by rail to Southampton, and at
dawn boarded HMS Llang.ibby Castle. The jeeps and trucks carrying
a part of the Regiment loaded and crossed the channel on U. S. Navy
and Coast Guard LSTs. I·

22 t~

.........
 The Llangibby Castle, a converted passenger ship, was crowded; the
crossing was rough and wet. The steady diet of mutton didn't sit very
well on the queazy stomachs, and for Thanksgiving Dinner there was
only more mutton. Those on U. S. LSTs had turkey but an even rougher
time.
The ships dropped anchor in the demolished Le Havre harbor, and land-
ing was accomplished after dark in LSTs. It was raining and the 10 minute
march to the trucks was through the most demolished part of the
town. The piles of rubble and broken buildings which lined the dark
streets seemed ominous, and the war seemed very close and real.
Trucks took the 310th to an assembly area in the vicinity of Yvetot,
France, and the troops set .up pup tents in mud a foot deep. Regimental
Headquarters was set up in a chateau in St. Paer. It rained almost
constantly for the next two days and. the French countryside was dreary
and dull.

Always time to feel human

At dawn on November 26, part of the regiment moved out by motor,

and in the afternoon, the remainder of the 310th was crammed into box
cars, "40 and 8s," vVorld War I variety. The motor convoy, which
arrived at Tongeren, Belgium on the afternoon of the 27th, passed
through recently liberated French and Belgian towns which had seen
few American soldiers. The night of the 26th was spent in billets near
Mons where the Belgians received the 310th men with cheers, food,
and occasional kisses. But the men in the box cars, which bumped along
backwards almost as much as forwards, . didn't reach Tongeren until
2200 on the 28th, and many of them vow they would rather have walked.

23
 The Regimental CP was set up in a country estate near Genoels-Elderen
(about 10 miles from Tongeren) and the Battalions were billeted or
bivouaced in small towns in the vicinity. At this time the 78th Division
wa.s in the Reserve of the U. S. Ninth Army, commanded by our former
XII Corps Commander, Lieut. General Simpson.
Here the regiment became acquainted with buzz bombs, which passed
noisily overhead toward Antwerp and England. It was all right as long
as they continued to sputter. But sometimes, the sputtering would stop.
Then there would be a moment of silence followed by a loud explosion.
The troops also learned about trenchfoot, the tremendous casualties it
brought about, and ways to combat it. Some officers and noncoms vi-
sited front line units of the 29th and 30th Divisions and the entire Re-
giment received orientation on the "big picture." Here we first heard
of "The Dams" which were preventing the Ninth Army from crossing
the Roer River. Those "Dams" in the First Army sector were to become
a vital part of this History.
Final supply and last minute training were accomplished. Guard was
careful and it wouldn't have been wise to playfully startle a guard,
whose finger, more than likely, was against the trigger. But there were
hay-filled barns fo.r sleeping and the Belgian farmers were very friendly.
Then quite suddenly, the 78th Division was transferred to General
Hodges First Army, to be committed to action.
This move, which was made by motor at 0800 December 7, put the
3rd Battalion astride a line of recently captured dragon's teeth inside
Germany, near Rotgen. The other Battalions and Regimental Head-
quarters bivouaced nearby in pine forests around Raeren, Belgium. So
deep was the mud that in many cases it was necessary to build bridges
and corduroy roads to enter the bivouac areas. It took until 2200 to get
settled.
On Friday, December 8th, our Regimental Commander, Colonel Miner
received a warning order at Division Headquarters. The troops got set
for a quick movement.
Snow fell on the 9th and lOth while selected personnel made recon-
1 naissance and commanders discussed plans.

At 1800 on December 11, in complete blackout and in a driving snow,

the Regiment marched 10 miles to an assembly area in the vicinity of
Lam'fllersdorf, Germany. Units closed in this area by midnight, and the
Reg'-i mental CP was set up in the Otto Junker factory in the northwest
part of town. Field Order No. 1 was issued, while german shells burst
outside.

 CHAPTER TWO
'· PRELUDE TO BATTLE
'

-..
Remember the high hopes of victory by Christmas 1944?
There was a time when this seemed probable. The sector into which the
78th Division was unexpectedly rushed held the key to the situation.
It would be well to follow the regional sketch showing the northern
part of the Western Front in this discussion of the general situation.
By the end of November, the Divisions of the 9th Army had closed over
i to the Roer River in the vicinity of puren, to the east of Aachen. It had
meant chewing into and through portions of the fortified belt of the
Siegfried Line against bitter opposition by a resolute enemy, able to
throw in reserves and armor to contest every village to the very banks
of the Roer.
I The general allied plan called for a breakthrough by the 9th Army
across the Cologne Plain, where the flat terrain was suited for an ar-
'· mored sweep to the Rhine. It was this anticipated breakthrough that
prompted the wishful thinking of early victory and it seemed like
reasonable anticipat~on except for an annoying obstacle that played
so vital a part in "Lightning's" destiny.
The north-flowing Roer River, somewhat over 60 feet wide and 3 to
5 feet deep, was not of itself a major obstacle. The Roer valley, however
~ad marshy flat lands about 300 yards in front of the river channel
on the American side. This, coupled with the more serious fact that
I the Germans still held the three great dams on the upper Roer near
Schmidt made the Roer a potential,ly formidable barrier. The enemy · at
will could loosen a flood capable of washing away military bridges and
flooding the lowlands and river valley.
The Schmidt Dams had to be taken before there could be a main break-
through toward the Rhine. It was "the most important mission of the
western front." It was this mission that was assigned to the 78th Di-
vision. The date of attack was December 13th, in the vicinity of Lam-
mersdorf. Twice before this objective had been tried by American in-
fantry, and twice there had been dismal failure.
Nine out of every ten soldiers never see actual battle, and most often
the tenth (the man with the rifle) is taught the ways of the enemy in
a defensive line somewhere on the front. The 78th Division doughboys
had been scheduled to learn this comparatively easy way, in a relatively
quiet Ninth Army sector near Julich. Plans were changed and fate
decreed that indoctrination would be the hard way; attacking the world

famous West Wall. It turned out to be not so easy, or as the British

would say, "The task was not inconsiderable."
On paper, the plan of attack was not overly complicated, and hopes ran
high for those bending over their maps and studying terrain.
Briefly, here's the way the big picture plan looked: The 311th Infantry
Regiment (attached to the 8th Division) was to begin a local, diver-
sionary attack in the vicinity of Vossenack (see Map A-10). This was
for the purpose of confusing the enemy and diverting attention from
the main attempt at Rollesbroich and Simmerath. It turned out that the
Germans knew where their responsibility lay and would not_ be de-

27

· I
ceived. The main attack was to be made by the 1st and 3d Battalions
E
of the 310th Infantry Regiment driving on Rollesbroich, and the 309th
Infantry Regiment, to which the 2d Battalion, 31 Oth Infantry was at-
tached, taking Simmerath and Kestern.ich. When these intial objectives
were seized, Phase I of the offensive would be terminated.
Phase ll, to be executed thereafter, called for capturing the southern
towns of Konzen, Imgenbroich and Eichersheid. This action would clear
the Germans from the west bank of the Roer River and completely out-
flank Schmidt on the south. (See Map A for Phase II.)
The third and. final phase was to be a concentrated attack from the
south and southwest on Schmidt. Even a hasty glance at the map
suggests the advisability of a drive due east from Vossenack (in the
311th area) to capture the real objective, Schmidt and the dam. Why
then all the extensive maneuvering and exposure in the excessively
fortified area around Rollesbroich and Kesternich? The answer is as
simple as it is tragic. It had been tried (as already indicated) twice
before from Vossenack. Each •time it had turned. into a slaughter in the
dense woods and precipitous slopes of the Kall Creek canyon lying
before Schmidt. Here the 28th and 8th Infantry Divisions had suffered
heavily.
Hence the south approach-as the only feasible way; with Kesternich
and Rollesbroich in friendly hands, the way would be open. After
Schmidt, would come the small village of ·Hasenfeld, which lay in the
Roer Valley area. The great Schwammanual Dam would be the key to
success.
This, then, was the Division big picture . .
Now for a sketch of how the jig-saw looked from a closer range, the
310th and its component Battalions' specific missions and planning.
Typical assault against a fortified line! How unexciting those words
appear in print, yet what mockery to talk of typical assault as ~f there
was a pattern that served as a cure-all for the situation, regardless of
its nature.
Tbe enemy occupied the high ground along the line running from Rol-
lesbroich south to Simmerath. In front of these carefully selected de-
fensive positions jutted the rugged terrain of Kall Creek canyon. The
Germans weren't taking any chances. Continuous anti-personnel and
anti-tank mine fields had been planted along the entire front. Pillboxes,
dugouts, and trench positions with their diverse fire power were to be
reckoned with. The defense extended in depth to the Roer River.
Schmidt was well defended on all sides.
Prior intelligence indicated the Rollesbroich-Simmerath line was manned
by two battalions of infantry, part of the 980th and 982d Volksgre-
nadiers. Their fields of fire were excelient and their artillery and mortar
support was well-nigh perfect. They had a perfect defense system. The
fighting quality of the individual soldier was of secondary importance.
This may in part explain the good use to which the Germans were able
to employ inferior troops and even foreign troops. The picture may
appear clearer by reference to Map B.

 Across the Kall Creek Canyon, cloaked as it was in the virgin white of
fresh snow that helped hide the German defenses, was our 102d Cavalry.
Their foxholes along the creek were to represent the line of departure
for the 310th attack. Lammersdorf, with its huge Otto Junker plant, was
to serve as the Regimental Command Post, the town church steeple was
to become the Observation Post, and the roof of a building a post
for directing artillery fire.
The men of the 102d Cavalry were not to be relieved from their po-
sitions in the customary manner. The 310th was to pass through and
keep moving forward. Maybe this was better, for it didn't permit re-
alization of what first ~ontact with death would be like. Would it be
movement by short rushes, extended skirmish line, or a column mo-
vement? Odd how the manuals seem altogether inadequate when facing
reality.
The 3l0th was to take Rollesbroich. The 3d Battalion was to cat:ry the
ball. The 1st Battalion was to make a limited advance on the 3d's right
and secure the high ground south of Rollesbroich. (The 2d Battalion was
with the 309th and headed for Simmerath and Kesternich.) The attached
sketch shows the proposed plan and how it was executed.
The missions were assigned, the objectives were understood the 0 0 0

attack was to get under way.

Remember, this was December 12th, , and the great von Rundstedt sur-
prise offensive began just four days later. The best layed plans

BAPTISM BY FIRE

The fight begins.

Odd that we should think of "baptism" as applying to troops in their

first encounter. Odder still that the baptism should be by fire, and blood.
It wouldn't be long now-the time had finally come. In the foggy half-
light towards dawn, the bitterness of battle, the nightmare of exploding
mortar shells, the terror of overhead tree bursts, the staccato of machine
guns, the man-made hell from the skies-all were about to join hands
to make the doughboy's existence wretched and miserable.
The Siegfried Line was all these things and more.

SECTION I: ROLLESBROICH
During the nights of December 11th and 12th, the 310th lads moved up
silently from bivouac areas between Raeren, Belgium, and Rottgen, Ger-
many. The early morning of the 13th was extremely cold, and the snow
which had fallen intermittently for three days, was glazed and de-
ceivingly deep. The troops had spent a miserable night. They were
thoroughly wet and chilled by the cold sweat of anticipation. Every
man was tense and excited; most were afraid, yet unwilling to show
it. There were tears, unnatural laughter, and prayer. Weapons were
checked and rechecked automatically. Feet were already half frozen,
(there were never enough overshoes or arctics to go around) and fingers
were brittle. It was only two months later that infantry troops were
supplied with winterized equipment or white camouflaged suits to blend
with the snow.

THE ATTACK ON DEC.13-14

lOllS BROICH

SCALE, I: 2.5,000
 Yet, there was the unfailing quality of determination. There was a job
to be done.
Looking east from Lammersdorf, the panorama was beautiful to the
eyes; rolling fields with hedgerows to mark property lines, or broken
here and there by an occasional farmhouse, cut by ravines and sprinkled
by sudden steep pine covered hills. It was all beautiful for the painter's
brush, yet ugly for offensive fighting. This was no time for the aesthetic,
not when wooded hlll crests made natural strongpoints for the enemy
and provided excellent observation of every normal approach. Any
other route meant overcoming the heavy brush and steep muddy heights.
EverJ' then, there was no safety, for the Germans had adjusted artillery
fire on every target long ago and thoroughly mined the terrain, tossing
in miles of concertina barbed wire for good measure. The enemy had
chosen its defensive positions with great care and tactical wisdom.
At 0200, the men 9f the 3rd Battalion were moving into forward essembly
areas in the Kall River ravine. Some tried to get a little rest before the
attack, others were too busy. In a small blacked-out shack, Captain
Owens, in a quiet voice, briefed his platoon sergeants on the aerial
photos by lantern light. An unfortunate German shellburst had required

CH a last minute reorganization in Company K.

At 0400 the leading companies of the 3d Battalion began stealing for-
ward and silently worked their way up a nearly vertical 200 foot slope,
where they passed through the lines of the 102nd Cavalry. At about 0600,
all hell broke loose in the 311 th and 78th Recon Sector, and with this
diversionary display of noise at its height, the 3d Battalion, K and L
Companies on the line, Company I in reserve, launched its attack.
Not many men remain who remember the intense silence and darkness,
where each step forward might arouse the enemy, where to remain
upright over the slippery terrain was a feat, where stumbling was taken
for granted, where being lashed
by branches only meant that yoti
were still not in the clear. Just to
be able to continue in that tor- \
tuous way · was the prevailing I
thought, but it was short-lived.
At 0625 Company L learned the
effect of the death-spraying mor-
tar shells and the destructive
sound of Jerry automatics. Com-
pany K saw its first grey uniforms
and heard the whistle of much hot
lead. The chips were down and
the aid men started getting busy.
Cold and fear were unimportant.
The scouts were still out and the
direction was forward. By 0730,
the first dominating terrain
features, small hills overlooking

History 3
33
 Rollesbroich from the northwest and southeast, were taken. A light fog
which had ' hung low the ground, began to clear.
Here the name Siegfried Line took on significance. A concrete troop
shelter, one in that infamous interlocking sytem of defense, housed a
machine gun and, to the Jerries, it must have looked like child's play when
most of Company K was pinned down. Enemy timing was good. Heavy
artillery and mortar fire was well directed. Every fold in the ground was
a haven and the earth was clawed for protection. A few elements of
the company, less exposed, managed to work their way to the south
and approach the fringe of Rollesbroich.
Company L kept moving but not for too long. Astride a hill just west
of the crossroads at the southern end of town, one platoon was suddenly
pinned down by intense machine gun fire. It looked like an ordinary
house, but looks are deceiving, as the ineffectiveness of return fir~
disclosed. The other platoon still mobile retraced part of its steps and
bypassed the crossroad to the north and thus joined forces with Com-
pany K's men.
By noon these forces had cleared most Rollesbroich's 50-odd shattered
houses. Resistance was primarily from snipers who fought until their
burp gun ammunition was exhausted and then shouted "Kamer ad". The
men got to know this pattern of fighting well.
It sounds like a battle won, doesn't it? Actually it wasn't! That de-
fended house with our wounded lying around it was really a disguised
concrete bunker. Two men lugging pole charges crept and crawled up
to its very walls, placed their charges, lit the fuses, scurried away only
to realize that the long trek and constant falling in the snow had wet
the charge. An artillery concentration might do the job, but CC!-ptain
Barton H. Hunter, commanding Company L, wisely refused to chance
further injuring the wounded men lying near the fort. The Regimental
Executive Officer, Lt. Col. Hayes, who witnessed this 'impasse, tried to
bring up a platoon of Tank Destroyers, whose direct fire weapons, using
fuse delay, would wipe out the defenders, but the TD's couldn't ap-
proach; the road was mined and the engineers couldn't work under
· enemy fire. One platoon of Company I, with the mission of protecting
a squad of Company B, 303rd Engineers in an attempt to clear the mined
road had already suffered heavy casualties. (We'll have to come back
and do something about that house later) --meanwhile:
1th Battalion's Company B was to have coordinated its attack with the
2nd Battalion of the 309th. Mined roads prevented this, and Company B
attacked independently at 1345. It made good progress along the
Lammersdorf-Rollesbroich road (by then dubbed "88 Lane") and ex-
pected to turn south at the town's crossroads for the purpose of control-
ling the junction and seizing the high ground south of town. The attempt
proved costly when the camouflaged fort which had pinned down
Company L's platoon and other crossroad houses opened up. Company B
was happy to dig in.

34
 At 1400, after making personal reconnaissance, Lt. Col. Harry Lutz,
3rd Battalion Commander, ordered Captain Olson's Company I to swing
around Company K's left flank and secure the hill and troop shelter
which were holding up Company K. This maneuver met with initial success,
produced 20 prisoners, and reached a group of houses just southwest
of Co;mpany K. The enemy hadn't been caught napping. Groups had in-
filtrated back to their original positions and made further advance im-
possible. Company I started digging for safety.
While all this was going on, the elements of Company K and L, which
had cleared Rollesbroich once, dug defensive positions on the eastern
outskirts of town.
Regimental Headquarters could report it head gained its primary objec-
tive, Rollesbroich. Now the problem was to hold it. There were enemy
to the front, to either side, and even to the rear, and there were other
troubles. Men began to realize that they were hungry and that they
needed ammunition. Casualties had to be evacuated.
Mined roads, constant artillery shelling, and darkness prevented the
use of vehicles. Safe lanes over rough terrain for distances better than
two miles called for hand carrying parties . . . and even the tired men
could hardly be spared. Rank or job lost its significance and there was
adequate compensation in seeing the job done.
Remember the southern tip of the town was still in enemy hands. After
dark, the enemy garrison in the fortification near the crossroads picked
up our nearby casualties and gave them first aid. Pfc's Harley Biggs,
Warren W. Hartwell and Sanford Brooks, uninjured but pinned down
near the fort were also taken. Odd how the warmth of the shelter and
· the medical attention prompted almost friendly conversation amongst
mortal enemies. Th~ American by tongue and sign language tried to
explain the hopelessness of the Germans' position and induce them to
surrender. They might have succeeded but for the Nazi officer who
sulked and finally ordered six Jerries to take the uninjured prisoners
to the rear. Outside "the fort, there was a sudden call "Duck", and
Biggs, Hartwell and Brooks hit the ground, just as a BAR opened fire.
Two of the German guards were killed and the other four were happy
prisoners. Pfc Creighe Vandergrift and Pfc Carey F. Everitt had con-
cealed themselves in a clump of bushes and their vigilant patience was
rewarded.
The enemy artillery was active throughout the night and small arms
clashes between outposts and patrols were frequent. Firing at brush
and fence posts that took on the shape of moving men was not un-
common either.
Mines prevented use of roads, but Company B, 893 TD's felt their way
across country and in a spectacular, after dark move, succeeded. At dawn
everyone was relieved to find six TD's in town. Things began to look up.
Now, December 14th, to really complete the mission.

History 3' 35
 Company A began the attack at 0730 under a hea:vy artillery barrage.
The going was rough; men were wading in knee deep· snow. The first
platoon secured the right flank of the company. The second and third
platoons, with the weapons platoon attached, carried the main attack
across the mine field to the pillbox. The road junction and the high
ground south of Rollesbroich was taken at a cos.t of 18 casualties. The
second platoon made contact and tied in positions with Company B on
the left. The first platoon filled in the center area, while the third pla-
toon covered the south area and tied in with the 309th Infantry on the
right near Simmerath.
Company B sei:t~d the troublesome crossroads troop shelter recently
abandoned except for Company L's wounded men. The southern fringe
of Rollesbroich was mopped up.
Company D did a good job in support of Companies A and B. Captain
Ramm's mortars were destined to play a leading role in this action and
subsequent engagements.
Companies K and L really gave the northern part of town a going over,
removed booby traps and consolidated their positions.
One platoon of Company C, which had been attached to the 3d Battalion
to clean out pockets of resistance west of Rollesbroich and establish
contact with the 78th Recon Troop to the north was stopped cold by an
unexpected Schu mine field. The platoon suffered 40 °/o casualties before
giving up, and then only after disposing of a couple of snipers and
knocking out a Jerry machine gun. Later, in clearing a path through
this mine field, Sergeant (later Lieutenant) Pierce of the anti-tank mine
platoon distinguished himself.
Company I cleaned out the sector north of town and after dark one
platoon took over the high ground and troop shelter which had so vexed
Company K.
Anti-tank Company, which prior to this time had coordinated defensive-
measures in depth, set up flank road blocks, and whenever possible,
lent direct fire support against pillboxes and strongpoints. Under cover
of darkness, anti-tank sent two platoons of anti-tank guns into Rolles-
broich for added support.
Several jeeps were finally able to enter the town after dark, but it was
still a mighty hazardous undertaking and hand carrying parties were
in evidence everywhere.
The following day, December 15th, the units continued to deal with
snipers who had been by-passed or who had infiltrated during the night,
improved communication and consolidated positions. Company I con-
tacted the 78th Recon Troops on the left set up an OP to maintain
contact. One platoon of Company C returned to that mine field with
a mine squad from Anti-tank Company and another from Company B,
303rd Engineers, cleared a path through it. The platoon, or what was
left of it, in full .dignity, passed through the opening, contacted Com-
pany I, and then with the rest of Company C. returned to 1st Battalion
control.

 The Germans hadn't been the only enemy. Trench foot casualties began
to mount. Men tried to do what they could to prevent it, but inadequate
equipment, extreme cold, waterfilled foxholes and tactical impossibility
o£ building fires, obtaining dry socks or shoes, or even removing one's
shoes for massaging, made prevention well nigh impossible.
The "baptism" had been thorough. What troops remained were not the
same soldiers who had nervously stood guard back in Belgium and
France. Their hate for the enemy was no longer an abstract thing. It
was merely a question of doing what was necessary to survive.
The first engagement was accomplished. In statistics on thy asset side
of the ledger, it added up to approximately a mile in to the Siegfried
Line along a 3000 yard front, plus 150 enemy known dead or captured.
On the debit side of the ledger the 1st Battalion record shows 6 Enlisted
Men killed in action, 2 Officers wounded, 26 Enlisted Men wounded,
18 Enlisted Men evacuated for trench foot and 13 Enlisted Men sent to
the rear as non-battle casualties, including combat exhaustion.
The total men lost to these two battalions in this one operation - 227.
That night it was learned that 16 kilometers to the south, massed
armored divisions under Field Marshal von Rundstedt had smashed
through the American lines on a broad front and were racing ·for Bel-
gium. More about that later.
Before closing this phase, it seems necessary to add a brief comment
as to what the casual reader, not versed in tactics; may have wondered
about. Air support. Briefly, the explanation is simple. The Air Corps has
never been able to support close combat where but limited distances
separate opposing forces. The chances of doing irreparable havoc to
one's own men by even so-called precision bombing or strafing is too
great. Altogether too often had our own troops been strafed by well-
meaning airmen. Pillboxes and troop shelters were not considered suit-
able targets by the Air Corps.
Now for the very pleasant task of paying tribute:
To Lt. Col. Harry Lutz, whose unfaltering courage and active par-
ticipation up there with the boys was a genuine inspiration and without
whose guidance the job could not have been done.
To the Aid Men and litter bearers, who from the very start, with utter
disregard for their own safety, were ready to and did sacrifice their
own lives so that the wounded might live. Their small group in just two
days of battle suffered 12 casualties, proof in itself of their devotion
to mankind. Their fearlessness was a model for the others to emulate.
To Cannon Company, whose front line observers with the rifle com-
panies lent support and confidence to local command, whose firing on
"targets of opportunity," whose artillery preparations before attack,
whose "area firing" at suspected enemy concentrations in dangerous
avenues of approach, called for alertness and precision with which much
could not have been accomplished. They demonstrated early that they
were a vital part of the Infantry team.

 To the 78th Division artillery and more specifically to the 903rd Field
Artillery, particularly to the forward observers who were up there with
the riflemen, directing and adjusting fire of those big guns in the rear.
What a wonderful soun~ it was to hear the whistle of our shells going
where they did the most good. The doughboy from that first day would
have been happy to share his Combat Infantry Badge with you FO's.
To the 102nd Cavalry Group for their steady and guiding hand to novices,
for the use of their CP in Lammersdorf, for their aid in maintaining
communication with our front lines, for the excellent work of their OP's,
'tor their alert and accurate identification of enemy aircraft, for teaching
us all about shellreps and their importance, and for generally aiding us
in becoming seasoned veterans in short order.

SECTION II: KESTERNICH

Roads to Kesternich.

This history is not .to be merely a narrative of gore, of bloody combat,

of hand to hand strug·gle with mere temporary survival as the prize, of the
stench of death or of those million and one things that make the dough-
boy's existence extremely hard. If it were, then Kesternich and the 2nd
Battalion's mission would be the place for unpar:alleled description.
New men, untried and green, were to find themselves in one of the
fiercest battles of the war.
The Division Staff realized in advance that Kesternich would be a tough
nut to crack, and decided to strengthen the 309th Regiment, to whom
the mission was assigned. Accordingly the 2nd Battalion of the 310th was
attached to the 309th. In simple language, this meant that the 309th had
four infantry battalions instead of the customary three. The 310th, by
the same token, lost all control and supervision over its 2nd Battalion for
the entire operation or until the battalion was returned to it. Attach-
ments generally never operate quite as . satisfactorily as working with
one's own organization.

39
 This battalion had somewhat longer to wait for its real baptism. They
had seen and felt enough the night of the 13th to chill their very bones.
They had absorbed punishment from both weather and artillery in their
position outside Simmerath. '
At 1600 on the 13th. they moved into newly captured Simmerath and
were called on to help mop up the town and prepare for the attack on
Kesternich. Simmerath looked like a brutally murdered town, torn and
maimed by the blasting power of artillery, theirs and ours . What was
left of it was a jumbled mess, buildings with upper stories collapsed,
walls standing without support, rubble of wood and mortar piled where
once a family lived, gaping holes in basements ' and streets, trees shorn
of their limbs, tilted crazily in every direction. Dead horses, cows,
knocked out vehicles and human bodies littered the streets.
Yet, from those very ruins, the German snipers continued to fire. The
mopping up required craft and stealth. and above all, a strong con-
stitution. There was partial compensation, for in some of those cellars,
full of debris as they were. a few men spent the night taking turns catch-
ing forty restless winks, while their buddy stood guard, counting rounds
as they came in and wondering how close the next one would be. Most
of the men were dug in outside the town and to them it was just another
period of dark with the full misery of wet, cold and fear.
It was still dark the next morning, December 14h, when the 2nd Battalion
started out for Kesternich. They kept on either side of the road that ran
east across open rolling country for 1500 yards to become . the main
street of the town. Just west of Kesternich, were hedgerows from which
the Germans could aim their guns ·with deadly accuracy. Many men fell
in that 1500 yards.
Try as he would, Lt. Col. Ladd, 2nd Battalion Commander, could not get
artillery fire on the edge of Kesternich.
There was no artillery support that day, for it 'was not clear if all the
309th men who had attacked Kesternich the day before had withdrawn.
The 2nd Battalion of the 309th had managed to reach the town, but were
driven back amid considerable confusion .. The suggestion was that one
platoon had remained. Friendly artillery was ordered not to fire under
these circumstances. Company E, in the lead, ·missed the sound of over-
head fire support. The silence was broken just as the troops approached
the western edge of town. Enemy artillery and mortars formed an end-
less barrage, and the lethal spray of machine gun fire from a heretofore
undiscovered pillbox, poised almost astride the road, joined in the
Roman holiday. This steel and concrete structure half buried in the
ground was built to take punishment. Direct fire from six TD's and sub-
sequent artillery concentrations made no impression. The Germans were
using the structure well. It was a d~coy too. Trenches had bee~ dug
laterally, so that the enemy could place its · men along the hedgerows
and fire from those secondary positions, using the pillbox as a base of
operations. If our artillery threatened their well camouflaged dugouts,
they would run back to the pillbox, which housed over one hundred men.

40
 Struggle as they would, on their very stomachs into the slightest de-
. pression that Mother Earth afforded, no further advance was possible .
Casualties piled up and moans of the wounded formed odd contrast to
the noise of exploding shells. There was nothing else to do but dig in
through the frozen earth and " sweat out" the night. Companies F and G
had taken much punishment.
The plans for the next day were drawn up. Artillery would be allowed
on the town. Lt. Col. Likes, Regimental Executive Officer of the 309th
Infantry, was put in charge of the infantry and armored combined efforts
for the next day.
During darkness, the TD's improved their position so as to permit point
blank aim on the firing slits of the pillbox. A terrific barrage by Di-
vision Artillery saturated the town and a steady stream of three inch
shells from the TD's, acting as covering fire, permitted the men to race
through the danger zone. Company E moved into town. It was a mistake
not to blow that box, but a 500 pound charge brought up by the
engineers didn't dent the surface, and there were then more important
things to do.
Company E's men prese,nted a strange appearance as they moved down
the street in two irregular columns, keeping in close to the houses on
either side. They knew each house was a trap, with Jerry snipers' itchy
fingers ready to t!lke direct aim. But their orders were to move through
first, while Company G would be coming right behind to clear out the
houses. Company E reached the eastern limits of to_w n at 1300 with less
than half its original strength (the result of two days ' losses) and started
to set up defensive positions. Many a sigh of preconceived relief escaped
from tired men. If only they could have known what was coming and
'
how their every fibre should have been exerted for caution ,and
alertness.
A diminished Company G, under Captain Sperry (later killed along with
Lt. Mallette while a prisoner of war), dealt zealously with each house.
Bazookas, hand grenades, BARs, individual weapons, all did their share
and at close range too. More than once, the struggle see-sawed from
house to house.
An already hard-hit Company F, moving around the right flank to skirt
the pillbox, ran smack into a Schu mine field. It was almost as if a
signal had b'een -set off, for those devilish German mortars began to
fall among them. A major part of the company pushed through and
started to dig positions on the southern outskirts of the town.
The afternoon was now well worn, and the situation began to take on
the appearance of order. Along the line, there was a false sense of se-
curity. Even the German shelling seemed to let up. It was the first
opportunity for issuance of orders and exchange of information. Many
things required attention; things the troops normally learn to take for
granted, yet which are vital to operations and control, and without which
no missions can be successfully accomplished. Such are the prime sub-
jects of staff organization.

BATTLE of KESTERNICH.;.OEC.I5
 Battalion Headquarters was set up in what was once used as an air raid
shelter, near· the center of town, and here each company commander
reported. Coordination of defense was vital. Seasoned troops and their
leaders have a sixth sense of ability of accomplishing this as they pro-
ceed with their mission. For the novice, however, its all separate and
y apart from an essential progressive development.
ERV Let's take a look at some of the things that still had to be done , not that
partial effort hadn't already been exerted in that direction.
Lt. Col. Likes of the 309th had been put in command of the complete
operation which employed the troops of the 2nd Battalion, .under Lt. Col.
Ladd, and the armored elements. This meant an improvised command,
a thing not necessarily advantageous. When the battalion moved into
town. only the infantry battalion staff followed along. There was a lack
of wire or radio communication from inside Kesternich to the rear. The
903rd Field Artillery liaison officer, who normally a companied the 2nd Bat-
talion, had been evacuated as a casualty and the replacement artillery
liaison party and forward observers were unfamiliar with the require-
ments and technique of the 2nd Battalion company commanders.
In subsequent battles, it was learned that artillery forward observers with
each company must take elaborate precautions to insure constant com-
munication, and that laying of wire between battalion and companies in
a limited objective such as Kesternich has a high priority.
Observation Posts and outposts were mighty important too, and though
often monotonous jobs, called for the best men.
Commanders Call was just about over when a twenty minute enemy
barrage into Kesternich was the first sign of trouble. A breathless mes-
senger shouting "counterattack" electrified the cellar and each company
commander rushed to his unit. The struggle was on in earnest. The Ger-
mans wanted Kesternich back again.
One enemy pincer supported by armor swung down from the northeast
to cut off Company E, while another moved southwest and attacked
Company F's right flank. Lt. Col. Ladd led whatever men from Company
G who had escaped the main fury toward the German hordes. It was an
uneven match. That was the last any of us saw of the Battalion
Commander.
Captain Alfred E. Fix and his CompanyE men held out through the night.
The men formed a tight circle around the last few houses in the town
or dug foxholes halfway down the hill. There were only 70 men left, but
small patrols were sent out to try to contact friendly forces. The patrols
never returned.
By morning, this group was on the verge of annihilation. German tanks
awaited outside their house doors threatening to blast them at point blank
range. There was nothing to do but surrender. The Captain and 56 of his
men were taken prisoners and disappeared somewhere into Germany.
Not much of a battalion was left, but there were still some stragglers
and :rpen who dropped back from Kesternich, and then there was Com-

pany H and its mortars. Company clerks, cooks, drivers, anyone was put
into a new line midway between Simmerath and Kesternich; a handful
of men with strange weapons to hold 2000 yards of line.
Inspired by Captain Edward A. Murphy and Captain Clyde Baden, thi~
group, along with depleted units of the 309th Infantry, attempted to
retake the town shortly afternoon. The courage of such men as Pfc.
Raymond F. Nagel, S/Sgt. Donald R. Howard, and others, who assumed
command ·o f and urged on untrained groups, paid dividends. This force
cleared out about a quarter of the town, took strongpoints, and pris-
oners, but enemy artillery and dar.kness finally stopped the advance.
At 2200, this group, suffering heavily from casualties, withdrew to the
new line between Simmerath and Kesternich. The search for the lost
men of the battalion had been fruitless. How many were killed; how
many captured - - at that time it was impossible to know.
·You may wonder about reinforcements. There were none. The Ardennes
breakthrough was under way. Kesternich was along its north flank, but
our high command had. more to think about than Kesternich.
Only those men who lived through the next few days can adequately do
justice to what personal sacrifice was called for. By the 19th, Com-
pany C of the 3_1 0th and a company from the 2nd Ranger Battalion had
been sent in to help hold the line. Fortunately, the Germans were con-
centrating their attentiop a little further south.
The 2nd Battalion CP was set up 150 yards to the rear of the line; once
a fine house used for SS' troops, but now a hollow shell with a fairly
good cellar. Toward midnight on the 19th, Pfc. Roy S. Spivey of Com-
pany G and Pvt. Donald H. Kemmich of Company H identified them-
selves to the quard and were helped down the cellar steps. They had
crawled from a group of Company F men, with whom they had been
cut off in the counterattack on December 15th and were still holding
out in a house on the southern outskirts of Kesternich. This group was
made up of Captain John Sharp (Company F Commander) who was
seriously wounded, two other officers, and 51 enlisted men, mostly from
Compamy F.
Spivey and Kemmich suffered severely from exposure and exhaustion
and had to be evacuated at once, though they volunteered to go back
to show the way. A patrol made up by 2nd Lt. Herbert E. Preiner, 1st
Sgt. Chester Scurlock (later Lieutenant) and other volunteers took off
for Kesternich. It was tough, silent work searching for that house, but
hea rtbreakingly fruitless. Hours later they returned to the Battalion CP
crestfallen indeed.
All day long maps were checked, little groups who had last seen
Company F were questioned, plans were made. There was going to be a
raid if need be. Fate was kind, for shortly after darkness, T/Sgt. Wilbur
A. Horst (later Lieutenant) and Pfc. Ivan E. Eikenberry showed up. · Jwo
of the most welcome sights ever seen, they were. T/Sgt. Horst knew
the w ay, and Lt. Preiner, 1st Sgt. Scurlock (Co. H), SISgt. Wise (Co. q ;
Sgt. Checeki (Co. H), and T/5 Chignole (Med Det), started out.

44
 To those who knew what was up (and even the foxhole grapevine
system carried the message) every moment was eternity, every move-
ment a possibility, every noise a clarion greeting the return from the
dead. The patrol succeeded and led back those few who were able to
walk. Strong men shed tears and silently welcomed long lost brothers. But
there was more work to be done.
A second trip was necessary to carry the weak and injwed. Only one
weapon was taken so that more hands would be free for litters and
support. Yes, they were all rescued! Some were carried piggy-back.
Lt. Zeigers was particularly in a bad condition. Others barefooted (their
shoes no longer fit their swollen feet) leaned heavily and scraped their
way back or actually crawled through the snow with the dispersed
column to reach our lines. The medics did a fine job of evacuation
that night.
Ist Sgt. Albert Rosenblatt and SISgt. DiMarco and several others refused
to be evacuated, though their sunken cheeks and glazed eyes suggested
it. It was from them, reluctant as they were to talk of the nightmare,
that small remnants of their ordeal would be garnered. Suffering
severely from wounds, hunger, exhaustion, and french foot, this group
had survived on green apples and stagnant water doped with Halazone
tablets . . During each day they crawled to their foxholes, even those
whose legs were by then useless, and manned their positions. At night
they made their tortuous way back to the cellar where they passed the
darkness in fitful sleep, where they could indulge in the luxury of low
moans while other men stood guard. Capt. Sharp and 1st Sgt. Rosen-
blatt, by their own fortitude, kept this group together. Pfc. Joseph_
A. Saba, formerly a pharmacist in civilian life, but a rifleman in the
army, administered the only trained medical aid.
These are only sketchy facts. Skill of portrayal beyond our limited
ability would hardly do justice to the courage, heroism, faith and
suffering entailed in refusing to surrender when cut off for five days.
The situation remained static for the next two days. Word had finally
gotten back as to sad plight of the 2nd Battalion and the 22nd December,
what was left of that battalion scurried along the road from Kesternich
to Simmerath through · that town of shadows, and came home .. . to the
310th Infantry Regiment. The 2nd Battalion, 311 th Infantry replaced. what
was left of the 2nd Battalion, 310th Infantry in the line.
In war, especially the kind of war the doughboy has to fight, it's
utterly impossible to apportion responsibility. As against all the in-
experience there is the imposing thought that an American-held Kester-
nich would have been a threat to the von Rundstedt supply lines. Per-
haps the Germans thought that their secret counteroffensive had been
discovered prematurely, and that this was the beginning of a major
effort to beat it. It could be that the resistance reflected the nature of
the objective. One thing is cert~in: hindsight and experience are .very
wonderful things.

45
 Here again a short pause nright be very much in order; just to acknow-
ledge some outstanding performances not already mentioned -
To the miscellaneous supply personnel that took up. arms and held the
line after the terrific upset in Kesternich. There's a lot of difference
between a skillet and an M-1.
To the few Battalion Headquarters Company enlisted men who pullei:l
guard for hours on end; some literally being carried to their post before
being evacuated for trench foot.
To the Company Aid Men and ambulance drivers who set up the Aid
Station 150 yards from the front, who dodged the 88s on that infamous
road, who had as a constant admonition of their possible fate that
wrecked ambulance at the Simmerath crossroads, which had been blown
sky high by a mine.
This chapter has said much of terrific casualties. It was not the intention
to exaggerate or color the report. In this engagement the 2nd Battalion,
310th Infantry lost a total of 542 men, as follows: Killed - 6 Officers,
63 Enlisted Men. Wounded - 5 Officers, 96 Enlisted Men. Missing in
Action - 13 Officers, 284 Enlisted Men. Trench foot - 1 Officer,
61 Enli.sted Men. Non-battle casualties (including battle fatigue) -
13 Enlisted Men. All three rifle companies had lost every officer. The
battalion was indeed depleted. As an emergency measure, the Regi-
mental Special Service Officer, Lt. James K. Bowman, was put in charge
of Company F. The regiment was to hear a lot about him in the battles
to come.

CHAPTER .fOUR
BATTLE OF THE BULGE - INTERLUDE

Some odd things happen in a

war. On December 17th, the 78th
Division was still in the attack,
yet every other division on the
Western Front was on the de-
fense, and the giant German
smash into Belgium was well
under way.
The seriousness of the general
situation required the 78th Divi-
sion to take up a defensive pos-
ition on the perimeter of the
newly won territory by De-
cember 18th. It is likely that further gains could have been made at 'the
time, although certain elements of all three regiments had suffered un-
expected and bitter losses. Particularly in the Kesternich area, the enemy
had reacted to our penetration with swift and vigorous determination.
The question of reserves had already arisen. The Battle of the Bulge was
rapidly drawing all available reserves from the First and Ninth Army
areas. Assuming we could, it still would have been unwise to spread
our forces any thinner by the acquisition of additional towns to defend
and outpost. ·
There is generally more than enough to do in a regimental winter defen-
sive position without worrying about cause and effect of neighboring
engagements. When the entire front is threatened by a winter offensive
of the size and force of the Battle of the Bulge, it is easy to get grey hair.
The broad plan of the German armies was quite ambitious; to strike
towards the Meuse River, thence on to Brussels and Antwerp. The pe-
netration was directed at the thinly held line in the Ardennes Forest,
along the Belgian-Luxembourg frontier. If the breakthrough effort and the
swing to the north succeeded, the American Ninth Army and the supply
lines to the British Army in Holland would be encircled and completely
cut off. We were part of the 1st Army, but north of the Bulge in the
threatened area.
The Germans drove their Sixth SS Panzer Army straight west toward
Bastogne, with the hope of turning north and sweeping into Liege. The
Fifth Panzer Army was to drive to the Namur River and secure the south
and west flank for the main effort to the north.

47
 Various strong diversionary attacks were attempted in order to screen
the main push. In th~ 78th Division sector, paratroopers were dropped
to harass communications and confuse the general situation.
By December 22nd, the Germans had overrun a number of American
divisions, had penetrated over fifty miles into what, just a few days
before, were rear areas, yet nowhere had they been able to break
through to the north towards Liege. This they had to do to take over
vitally necessary fuel and food supply depots behind the American Ninth
and First Armies in that area. This tremendous thrust had certainly
played havoc with many U.S. units. The 106th Division, which trained
with the 78th Division in the States, was practically destroyed.
The Ninth Army was forced to send most of its divisions to the Bulge
to prevent this encirclement. The 7th Armored, 30th, 84th, 85th, and
many special units were sent south to stop the Germans short of Liege.
The 78th was ordered to hold the line north of Monschau with the
main burden, however, of holding the north shoulder of the Bulge at
Elsenborn falling to the valiant 1st Division, which at the time was on
its way to a rest area after a prolonged period of combat. Between Mon·
schau and Elsenborn, the Germans made three powerful attempts to
widen the Bulge, all of which the 1st Division managed to stop cold.
Seventeen days after the beginning of the great counteroffensive, the
German fury was spent and the U. S. troops began counterattacking. By
comparison, the 78th Diyision had remained relatively quiet all this
time. Strangely, many men from the 78th Division actually saw this
savage thrust by the Germans in the Bulge area. Many 78th Division
men, who were in hospitals behind the lines in the Bulge area, actually
fled their sickbeds and walked back to friendly lines.

48
 Gls normally peeved at fate for having decreed their hard lot as In-
fantrymen, were giving thanks for the blessing of being a 78th men.
Holding a defensive line in the severest winter Germany had seen in
many years wasn't exactly child's play. But we held, and for all those
weeks the men c6uld look at the newspaper sketches of the "Bulge" and
identify themselves in that little point still protruding into German
territory.
Here's the way it looked to the men of t~e 310th Infantry Regiment:
From December 16th until January 28th, the regiment held a 3000 yard
line which ran, roughly speaking, from a dam 600 yards north of Rolles-
brqich, through Rollesbroich to a point just north of Simmerath. "Jerry"
was from three to seven hundred yards away, looking down our throats.
But "holding a line" didn't mean merely sitting in foxholes passively
waiting for something to happen. It meant fighting the winter with its
intense cold, snow, and fog which changed natural objects like trees and
hills into silently approaching enemy, and made outpost guard a harrow-
ing experience. It meant a continual battle against trench foot, and
mental depression. It meant sweating out artillery barrages which the
enemy habitually sent in at chow time, and nights which were light with
flares and flashes, fighting off enemy patrols, and planes which appeared
from nowhere fo strafe the lines. It meant working daily to improve and
strengthen positions and being constantly ready for enemy attack. It
meant sudden alerts when enemy paratroopers were dropped behind (he
lines and when there were reports of impending counterattacks. It meant
intensive assault and infantry-tank training, and breaking in more than
1100 inexperienced reinforcements, which arrived during the period.
Some of the best had come from the 69th Division, which had been
stripped in England to furnish replacements after the Bulge. It meant
going into enemy territory on patrols to secure prisoners and information.
It meant hours and days of deadly boredom. It meant carefully working
out withdrawal plans and defense in depth-but knowing that if
von Rundstedt's drive was successful, the regiment would be cut off and
in desperate trouble. Of course, elaborate preparations we~e made against
this possible misfortune. Extensive defensive positions were dug by in-
fantry and engineer troops in the vicinity of Rottgen, in preparation for
a withdrawal to more favorable ground than Lammersdorf. Speedy coun-
terattack plans, designed to use the divisional reserve forces to stop any
German penetration, were worked out and rehearsed. Everything that
could-be done was done-and in the severest of weather too.
On December 16th, Rollesbroich was strafed and Company B shot down
two enemy planes. The following day, two German paratroopers, who
had dropped during the night, were killed by Company A men. On De-
cember 19th, Major General Parker promised a Bronze Star and a trip
to Paris to any man who knocked out a tank with a bazooka. At 2145,
the following message was received from division and passed to all
troops: "150 Germans, dressed in American uniforms, complete to include
AGO cards and paybooks, from rank of Private to Major, have been
placed in American jeeps and released toward our lines; 40 men with

the mission of blowing up all headquarters encountered, 40 with the

mission of cutting signal communications, and 70 with a reconnaissance
and general hell-raising mission. Some of these are reported in our area.
They speak perfect English but may not countersign such phrases as the
cost of air mail stamps, Sinatra's first name, code names of headquarters,
patches of other organizations, who won the World Series, staging areas
in the United States. They are wearing German dog tags. Take full pre-
cautions to protect CPs."
On December 22nd, Field Order Nr. 2 was issued. On December 23rd,
the following was heard from hidden enemy loud speakers: "GeneralEisen-
howe r acknowledges that the great German offensive which started on
December 16th, 1944 is a greater one than his own ... How would you
like to die for Christmas?"
There was an inch of hard, crusty snow on the ground Christmas Day.
In Qutpost foxholes, in cellars and in buildings, men ate Christmas dinner,
turkey and trimmings .

so
 The regiment was ~lerted on December 27th, when a PW reported the
likelihood of an attack on its front by three enemy divisions, but nothing
materialized.
New Year's Eve was just another night. Enemy patrols were active after
dark, enemy planes strafed Rollesbroich four times, Company B reported
two enemy paratroopers dropped in its area.
On January 6th, one hundred rounds of mortar fire fell on Rollesbroich
in a single concentration at 1930.
A Company I raiding party on January 9th attacked the troop shelter
atop the hill north of Rollesbroich, but was driven off by severe
automatic weapons and mortar fire.
The following day, twenty enemy soldiers, who had gathered around a
fire in the vicinity of Strauch, were observed and decimated by
artillery fire .
During this period, the need for information about enemy plans and
strength was extremely important, but enemy deserters were infrequent,
prisoners were hard to get, and patrols sent to capture them invariably
met stiff resistance immediately upon approaching the enemy lines. One
patrol, however, sent out by Company A was singularly successful. Con-
sisting of 2nd Lt. Richard M. Jones (later Captain), Sgt. James W. Spence.
Pfc. William H. Brand and Pfc. Jarriott D. Thompson, the patrol entered
the enemy lines after dark on January 10, killed 6 krauts, and returned
with 3 PWs. The patrol's only casualty was a slight hand wound.
On January 14th, Can~on Company scored a direct hit on an enemy ob-
servation post north of Rollesbroich. Tables, chairs, and a stove were
seen flying through the air.
Three enemy tanks approached Rollesbroich on January 23rd, but were
driven off by artillery fire. Throughout this period the Regimental, CP
was shelled periodically by the Germans. On one occasion Captain Heath
who commanded our supporting medical Company was killed, and on
another Lt. Col. Reagan, 78 Division Chaplain.
By January 25th, the Ardennes Bulge no longer existed and American
troops were back on their original lines. It was time to get moving again.
But before taking off on the next adventure, let's take a closer glance
at what the fighting team really looked like.
During that interlude, better than 1000 new men joined the outfit. Some
from non-combat units could boast anywhere from 3 days to 7 weeks
of basic training. They weren't given much time to think of what it was
going to be like. The old and the green had training to go through, and
no one had to tell them their life depended on it. Turns were taken
manning the foxholes, so that groups could zero their weapons; each man
became a part of a bazooka team, using a KO'd Jerry tank as a live
target; every infantryman became an engineer specializing in dynamiting
pillboxes and concrete emplacements; individual training in crossing
mine fields and recognizing danger zones was part of the diet too. The
real stuff was there and it was put to use.

History 4' 51
 ·A reorganized 2nd Battalion, in 78th Division Reserve, underwent in-
fantry-tank training with the 736th Tank Battalion for two weeks back at
Rottgen, and then came forward to relieve the 3rd Battalion in the line
at Rollesbroich. The exchange was effected with maximum secrecy and
without mishap.
All intelligence troops, encouraged by their leaders, began to take to
skiis, to snow shoes, to cutting up old bed sheets so they could wrap
themselves in white and be .hidden in the snow. Medics and supply
echelons built sn9w sleds and jeeps w e re whitewashed. The men were
pleased to get a 310th picture in the "Stars and Stripes." Sgt. Weik (later
Lieutenant) and his men of the I & R Platoon were photographed on ski
patrol. .
Newcomers particularly, learned why it took seven hours for a three-
minute shower every once in a while, if the fellow was lucky and could
get to Rottgen or Aachen. And how the re was community washing of
socks by kitchen crews in the rear, with catch-as-catch-can as to size or
condition of service-ability when they came back "clean." No, underwear
didn't crawl away under its own momentum. DDT powder took care
of that.
Then there was a new lesson in patience. No word from home during
the Bulge, or, if a letter did sneak through, it generally was one reflecting
the upset mental state of the family, worried about no mail ..... and if
we were traf>ped by the counteroffensive. Stars and Stripes and Lil Abner
were gifts from heaven and B Bag really came into its own.
The men learned something else too. It didn't pay to get careless. Long
periods of quiet would suddenly be broken by the thundering explosion
of a well-aimed artillery shell on the little group who thought they
couldn't be observed. Of course, our own mortars played the same game.
Regimental and Battalion Headquarters Staff weren't idle either. De-
fensive plans were worked out for every avenue of approach and
counterattack measures were prepared. Many of these were actually
practiced-just in case. Dry runs meant something here.
Yes, it was a · cohesive team. It had, to all appearances, come a lorig way
from the baptism. Pe rhaps now we were ready to take up the postponed
Phase II of the operation we started on December 13th-so long ago.

C -HAPTER FIVE
PHASE II IN OPERATION

The cold n ev er ends

All except the Kesternich mission of Phase I had been accomplished

when the operation was rudely interrupted by vonRundstedt. Now for con-
tinuing that venture with Phase II which called for capturing the southern
towns of Konzen, Imgenbroich and Eicherscheid. This would clear the
Germans from the west bank of the Roer River and completely outflank
Schmidt on the south. (See Map P-27, Phase II heretofore referred to.)
Enemy activity appeared to be at a standstill on January 29th as final
plans were made for the attack. Intensive reconnaissance was under way,
weapons were test-fired, and all personnel were briefed on the coming
action. Plans were coordinated with supporting units and the Field Order
was issued.
Here's what it amounted to:

53

H'JIN~3J.S3>f
 The initial assignment fell to the reconstituted 2nd Battalion of the 310th
Infantry. It was an effort to drive the Germans beyond the Roer Canyon
and free all the area west of the river. It meant driving southwest from
Simmerath and seizing the crossroad at Am Gericht.
The 3rd Battalion (less Company K) was given the task of capturing
Konzen, a death trap for other units which had tried to reconnoiter the
town in December.
The 1st Battalion was chosen to capture Imgenbroich after the 2nd Bat-
talion had reduced the fortified zones south of Am Gericht crossroads.
Elements of the 311th Infantry, with Company K of the 3rd Battalion,
. 310th Infantry attached, were to capture and clean up Kesternich, then
drive on to Huppenbroich. Company K was not to join the 311 th until
after the Konzen attack.
The job of capturing Eicherscheid was to be a joint effort of an armored
command of the 5th Armored Division and one battalion of the 311 th
Infantry Regiment. This could only be put into effect if the 2nd Battalion,
310th Infantry cleaned up the mines and anti-tank resistance south of
Simmerath and held the Am Gericht crossroads. Armor could not move
cross country; . the ground beneath the snow was soft and boggy.
There was a bit of loca1 current history that was mighty impressive and
in a way, helpful too. Troops of the 311th had attempted to improve their
position on th~ south edge of Simmerath several weeks earlier. Jerry
pillbox 37, close by, was attacked and the enemy reaction was violent.
The 311 th's losses were regretably high. Pillbox 37 was only one of an
interlaced series of those steel and concrete strongpoints, each with
walls 4 to 8 feet thick and with carefully chosen fields of fire for machine
guns and antirtank weapons. Fifteen of these forts guarded the approach
to Am Gericht crossroads and extensive mine fields, entrenchments and
barbed wire added strength to the defense. There was justification for
the apprehension with which the undertaking was viewed.
The regiment was fortunate in having four British flamethrowing monst-
rous tanks (called Crocodiles) of the Furth and Fife Yeomanry attached
to it for this operation, and these kin of Satan were assigned to aid the
2nd Batta.l ion in the pillbox assault. Five medium tanks from the 736th
Tank Battaiion added to the striking force. The boys on top weren't
kidding. It was a job that was going to succeed!
The 2nd Battalion was relieved atRollesbroich, where it had been holding
the line, by the 1st Battalion of the 309th, and went into a temporary
assembly area in the vicinity of Simmerath. Cannon Company and Anti-
tank Company prepared forward positions and set up their howitzers.
Now to wait for the first rays of dawn. Lt. Col. Culbreth coordinated the
whole works-it was well planned-every last doughboy knew what he
was supposed to do. The concentration of troops and vehicles in the
vicinity of Simmerath would have been very vulnerable to enemy ar-
tillery, but fortunately secrecy was maintained.
By morning, a blinding snowstorm was sweeping in from the west. Drifts
were waist deep. Rough on the foot soldier, and not easy for the tanks
either. The attack was under way with Company F leading the way.

55
 The Crocodiles were up there with the doughs, churning up clods of dirt
but utterly superb in their performance and desire to get in on the kill;
their long tongues of flame capable of reaching 100 yards being relied on
to shatter the Germans' morale. Lt. James K. Bowman, commander of
Company F, exercised marvelous control and complete coordination. in
an exemplary manner.
One platoon, whose leader was wounded five minutes after the action
started, set a magnificent record under the command of S/Sgt. Hubert
J. Arsenault and S/Sgt. Glenard T. Graddy, who had two weeks before
been Pfc . messengers in the Company Headquarters. The three pillboxes,
whose reduction was the platoon mission, were unexpectedly easy. The
tanks came up close, blasted away at the forts and the Germans came
out with their hands up, after a little additional close-in fire from the
platoon. But Arsenault and Graddy weren't satisfied and led the platoon
on through the waist-deep snow until two more pillboxes were visible.
Covered by the platoon, demolition men crept up close and placed their
· charges well. After the charges exploded, the Germans couldn't get out
fast enough. Then the platoon captured a troop shelter to make a total
of 5 pillboxes, 136 prisoners and a large quantity of enemy guns and
ammunition for its morning's work. The company consolidated north and
east of the Am Gericht crossroads.
Meanwhile, men of Company G advanced along the west side of the
road toward Am Gericht. They overcame resistance from several pill-
boxes and troop shelters and captured the Am Gericht crossroads at 0900.
The company was heroically led by Captain Edward A. Murphy.
Company E, which had been held in reserve initially, was committed at
1220. and, moving through the Company G lines, began to investigate
and clear the terrain features to the south. By nightfall, the 2nd Battalion
had captured 142 prisoners, 12 pillboxes and 4 troop shelters. ·
The men hated to see the Crocodiles leave (two had been temporarily
knocked out by mines). The British tankmen were extraordinary f!ghters
and our hats are off to them for their valor and ability.
Meanwhile, the 3rd Battalion had accomplished its mission in an
operation which a captured German officer described as "the most ex-
cellent and tactically sound he had ever witnessed."
Company I, supported by one
platoon of TD's, jumped off at
0530, secured the high ground east
of Konzen (Konzen Hill) without
meeting any opposition, and mo-
ved towards Konzen from the
east. Supported by a platoon of
tanks, Company L moved forward
~.
at 0800 and entered Konzen from
the north. But for the carcasses of
about 30 dead horses which lay
along the roads, the shell-shatter-
~f;.. ed town seemed completely de-
·~<-~
56
serted, until Company L reached the center of town, where four enemy
soldiers gave minor small arms resistance before surrendering. Com-
pany I overcame determined resistance from a factory in the eastern out-
skirts of town and contacted Company I at 1300, when the town was
secured. During the afternoon. Company I mopped up in the outskirts
of town and at dark dug in on the southern tip. A total of 62 enemy were
captured by the battalion, whose total casualties for the operation were
10 wounded. Lt. Meyer, aggressive platoon leader of the attached medium . ,
tanks of the 736th Tank Battalion, moved too fast for his infantry pro-
tection in the deep snow and was killed when a panzerfaust knocked
out his tank.
The 1st Battalion continued the attack after dark. Companies A and B
m1JVed into forward assembly areas at 1500, passed through the 2nd Bat-
talion lines, and at 2000, with Company E, attacked south along the road
leading from Am Gericht to Imgenbroich. Company A led the advance
with the first and third platoons abreast. The second · platoon was in
reserve. Company B followed Company A. The attack was lowed by deep
snow in the draw about 1000 yards north of Imgenbroich. The bridge over
this draw had been destroyed and troops were forced to descend the
steep, snow-covered bank in darkness. Dispersed and well-hidden enemy
in the bottom of the draw had to be ferreted out and eliminated one by
one before the advance could continue. But by midnight, the cliff at the
draw's southern end was reached, and by 0400, Companies A and B had
mounted it and consolidated their lines several hundred yards further
south. Nine pillboxes and troop shelters had bee~ captured and 64 pri-
soners had been taken.
Cannon Company and Anti-Tank Company were mighty busy all day,
setting up those vital flank road blocks, giving support by direct fire, not
missing a target of opportunity and constantly displacing forward. Sweat
and snow soaked the wire crews to the skin. ·
A rain fell in the earl morning and by 0800, wheri Companies A and B
a
continued their attack, the ground was two fo.ot deep mire of slush and
mud. Company A reached the northern edge .of Imgenbroich and 0900
and by 0950 had taken all the pillboxes north and east of town. In this
operation, a few artillery rounds of our own supporting artillery landed
on our own troops, just short of their objective. In all our fights, only
twice did our 78th Division Artillery allowthis to happen, both times un-
fortunately on Company A. In each case, extraordinary circumstances
made it unpreventable. No infantry regiment ever had more dependable
artillery support than this Regiment of the 78th Division. Company C,
initially in reserve, moved forward at 0940 and entered Imgenbroich from
the north at 1012. Only four frightened enemy were found in town. In
the afternoon, the companies cleaned up in the outskirts of town and
brought their pillbox and troop shelter total to 18 and 10.
The 2nd Battalion, ri1eanwhile, mopped up in the draw and east of Am
Gericht, capturing 20 pillboxes and four troop shelters. At 1600, the
battalion moved into Eicherscheid to reinforce the 1st Battalion, 311th

58
Infantry, arid permit the withdrawal of the 5th Armored Division's
elements. The 3d Battalion cleaned out pockets of resistance in and
around Konzen and made contact with the 102nd Cavalry.
The Regimental CP moved in the rain into a seivelike cellar in Konzen
on February 1 to shorten lines of communication to the battalions, who
were busy searching out their areas . But the enemy had apparently with-
drawn and only stragglers and deserters were encountered.
Oh yes, we had half a dozen officers and enlisted men from the Air Corps
visit us that day, just to see how the doughboy lives. A couple of inches
of water in the Battalion CP was hardly conducive to hospitality, and a
mutilated Jerry body not far from the door didn't help one's digestion
of the K rations we had for supper. We did not invite them to stay over-
night and come along for the trip to Hammer, but for their general piece
of mind, they seemed happy to leave us and return to the Air Corps. One
of the unshaven doughs offered his right arm for the aircorpsman's
arctics .... but then he was only kidding . . . his trigger finger was
attached to that arm.
On the 2nd of February, after securing Imgenbroich, the 2nd Platoon of
Comp!lny C mounted tanks' and rode towards..
Monschau to establish
contact with the 9th Division. The mission was accomplished.
In the evening of February 2nd, Company F advanced on Hammer. Lying
far out on the flank and impossible to observe from '!: distance, the town
was an unknown quantity. Perhaps a battalion of fortified Jerries lay in
wait, perhaps nothing but a deserted German village. The company
wound through a deep draw and suddenly came upon the village. The
Roer River flowed peacefully through its outskirts. There was no sound
or movement, and the wet, tired troops advanced cautiously, hugging the
buildings and searching each one; feeling a lit~le 1 foolish because it
seemed certain the town was deserted; yet rightly afraid to expose them-
selves on the off chance of a trap. There was no hidden enemy, however;
just one old woman, who'd chosen to remain• and watch her livestock
when the town was evacuated, and more dead horses than one wanted
to remember.
The men were happy, had begun to dig in-another town taken and no
casualties. Suddenly, without warning, round after round of artillery and
mortar fire dropped into the town. The barrage continued for ten minutes
while the men pressed the ground in their unfinished foxholes. and then
it was quiet again.
In the dawn of February 3, they waded the Roer River and established
a bridgehead to protect the engineers while they constructed a bridge.
This set tb.e stage for the advance across the Plains for the troops who
were to move this area.
During the above action by elements of the 78th Division, the 9th In-
fantry Division had been battling in the south and their advances had
carried them almost to the town of Gemund, which, from a regional stand-
point, completely outflanked the Eicherscheid area on the south and un-
doubtedly contributed to the ease of the operations. The men of the

59
78th Division were to see a great deal of the 9th Division in later oper-
ations, and their outstanding performance on numerous occasions was
an encouragement to everyone.
Execution of Phase II had been a huge success. We were happy to use
the black ink on th€ asset side of the ledger. Our losses of 11 killed in
action, 54 wounded in action and 30 nonbattle casualties had been much
lighter than we dared hope for.
The stage was being set for Schmidt. Remember, the entire Ninth Army
was waiting for us to secure those Dams. The 310th was relieved in its
new position by the 102nd Cavalry, and the 1st and 2nd Battalions took up
temporary positions in Rollesbroich with the 3rd Battalion in Simmerath,
where it was being introduced to the 7th Armored Division. ··
Its obvious we neglected some mighty important friends and this seems
like a good place to say thanks to:
The IPW Team of Lt. Stein, and S/Sgts. Ulrich and Budwig, who were
up there with us, at all hours arid under all conditions, ferreting out those
little bits of information from recalcitrant prisoners and sifting the "wheat
from the chaff''. More than once, their lead headed us in , the right
direction. They were with us throughout all campaigns and we considered
ourselves mighty fortunate.
The wire teams and communications sections that were strictly "on the
ban··. It wasn't easy lugging that wire, or carrying that SCR 300 radio
set through the snow while dodging enemy fi re. But it was done, and
well too.
The Engineers, who felt reluctant ev,ery time they blew a pillbox or
troop shelter, because it meant chasing the doughboy out in the cold.
Really the infantrymen got a big bang out of your dynamite, even if you
almost blew up the world, on one occasion south of Simmerath.
The weasels-those mechanized cockroaches, whose tracks carri€d them
everywhere and whose arrival during battle was a happy diversion for
many a slap-happy jeep jockey anxious to go on a steeplechase excursion·
They did get the aimno ther e and did help in evacuation of wounded.

C HAPTER S I- X
SCHMIDT - THE KEY TO GERMANY

Sc]jwammenauel.
The great dam ... A dough boys sob! Seen from the '' German 'side".

Headlines! Stars and Stripes. Papers back home. The 78th Division,
under F~rst Army command, was in the limelight. The Schwammenauel
Dam near Schmidt was unquestionably the most important objective
on the \tVestern Front at that time. The Ninth Army divisions to the
north had been waiting since last autumn. The First and Third Armies
were reorganizing after the costly Battle of the Bulge.
The Germans held the key- the Schmidt area where the Dams con-
trolled the water level in the. Roer River. The Allies object: to seize the
Dams intact, and at second best, to force the Germans to destroy the
Dams and let the billions of gallons of water flood the valley for two
weeks. After this, the Ninth Army could cross with no potential barrier
threatening to isolate them from rear supplies and reinforcements. This
trump card must be taken from the enemy's grasp! It couldn't be done
on the ground, the 28th Division could testify to this after their costly
attempt in November. The 8th Division had had a try at it too. The Air
Corps had been given the mission.
Pock marks were mute evidence of the serious efforts of bombing, but
the mighty dam was not to be demolished. The Nazi planners built the
dam as a vital link in the chain of defenses that made up the West Wall.
This was no ordinary structure. It was like bombing a mountain, each

bomb disturbing a ton or two of dirt or chipping some concrete, but
nothing else would happen. Anti-torpedo nets took care of aerial
torpedoes and excellent anti-aircraft positions menaced low-flying
bombers. It had to be a doughboy's job.
The natural defenses of Schmidt were considerable. To the west, beyond
Kommerscheidt, the Kall Creek Canyon was an impossible barrier to
tanks and vehicles. The canyon was covered with dense woods and
approaching infantrymen were an easy prey for mine fields, booby
traps, and concealed dugouts and concrete pillboxes, through which
sudden and withering machine gun fire could be laid down in sweeping
bands of crossfire.
To the south, from Steckenborn to Schmidt, was a zone of concentrated
pillbox defense. Ext~nsive anti-personnel and anti-tank mines guarded
the south approach; the pillboxes were mutually supporting and large
reinforced troop shelters throughout the area allowed reserves to be •
protecled from our artillery until the moment of commitment in counter-
attack.
To the east was the lake, the Roer-Stausee, with very high ground on
the eastern shore. Here, artillery observers could direct accurate and
devastating artillery and mortar fire on any troops approaching Schmidt
from the south. The artillery positions west of the lake were beyond
our grasp, and all the pillboxes in the woods west and south of Schmidt
could telephone for instant artillery adjustment on opportunity targets.
Yes, it was a very excellent defensive position that the Germans had at
Schmidt. (Our 28th Division learned that fact to their sorrow in
November the 78th was abovt to learn it in February).
The plan to captu~e Schmidt and the dam at Hasenfeld was rather
simple. In the execution of the- plan, many changes occured to the
original plan and much confusion prevailed throughout the engagement.
But first, the original plan.
The 311 th Regiment was to capture the towns south of Schmidt,
i. e. Strauch, Steckenborn, Hechel~cheid and Ruhrberg. The 310th's
3rd Battalion under Lt. Col. Lutz, heading an armored command from the
7th Armored Division, was to have the special assignment of assisting
the 311th by taking Steckenborn. ·
The 310th was to have the dubious privilege of capturing Schmidt. After
the high ground to the east of Schmidt was secured, the 309th was to
take Hasenfeld and the Dam, including the far side at Schwammenauel.
(The large dotted arrows on the sketch indicate the proposed advance
of each regiment.) As plans go, even now it doesn't look too complicated,
and actually parts of the original plan were followed. Some astonishing
alterations and additions did occur in the important days from February
5th through February 9th.
Inadequacy of language and space preclude a full description of what
happened, but here's roughly how the recapitulation looks at this late
date:
The 3rd Battalion, in its mission to capture Steckenborn, advanced on
the morning of February 5th, supported by an attachment of tanks and

64
tank destroyers. Company I on the right, and Company L on the left
advanced under constant mortar and artillery pressure until machine
gun and small arms .fire from pillboxes beyond Steckenborn brought
them to a halt. The tank ;destroyers came to their aid, the pillboxes were
overcome, and the resistance in the town broken. It was a full day's
work, well done with a total of 55 prisoners taken as against two
Company I men killed and 13 others wounded. The most important
thing, though, was the breakthrough of the elaborate German defenses
and the fact that the southern approach to Schmidt was ppen.
\A/hile this was going on, the 1st and 2nd Battalions were poised out-
side of Rollesbroich, out in the cold penetrating drizzle, loaded down
with their packs and weapons, rubbing hands to keep them from freez-
ing, yet ready at a moment's notice to take off. The day wore on and
the signal could not b~ giyen. Progress in other regions was slower than
hoped for and reports were clouded. Colonel Miner, Regimental Com-
mander, endeavored to obtain approval to have the men get under
cover from the elements, but too much hung in balance, and delay
necessitated by reassembling seemed unwise. Toward late afternoon,
the half frozen troops were ordered forward to bivouac in the woods
near the barracks area. Digging foxholes certainly can make the blood
circulate, especially if a round or two pays a visit now and then.
•
Up to this time, all plans for the 1st and 2nd Battalions attacks had been
based on daylight operations, particularly as the attachments of tanks
and engine·e rs -could not perform satisfactorily at other times. Much to
the surprise and disappointment of Regimental Headquarters, just as
black of night settled over the area, word came through that it would
be a night · attack. This change of plan by higher echelon than 78th
Division was possibly~ based on the assumption that casualties would be
· ·~ ~ , fewer if the pillboxes were approached
under cover of darkness. It meant, how-
ever, that there would be no tank sup-
port and all prior planning had made
them an essential part of the scheme.
But orders are orders.
Undoubtedly there was
a plausible reason.
. It was a hell of a night.
:bi-iving rain and inky blackness. The
troops moved out at 0300 as ordered.
Outstretched hands tried to keep con-
tact, not knowing where the next step
would lead to. Stumbling, not daring
to talk above a whisper, not even dar-
ing to swear, not sure if. the object two
feet ahead was a tree or a man ... all
this in what you knew was the most
heavily mined section of the Siegfried
Line.

66
 The first enemy contact was by men of Company E. They stumbled
into a wall, they thought. lt turned out to be a pillbox, and in the night-
marish struggle, 'the star led Germans on guard outside and the bewildered
Americans exchanged ha~d grenades, and sprayed each other with
machine pistol and rifle fire. The Germans didn't have . to know
exactly where our troops were. They could and did use their cross
fire and laid down a perimeter defense of heavy mortar and artillery fire.
Before morning, ·all communication wires to regiment were out, and
radio interference left no alternative but for the regiment to send out its
liaison personnel to try to find the battalions and bring back the story.
An anx ious time indeed.
With dawn, the 2nd Battalion managed to send back guides to bring
up the tanks. No sooner had these steel giants stuck their noses out on
the Schmidt highway when well placed antitank fire dampened their
initiative.
With dawn came volumes of enemy artillery. The '1 st Battalion was
spotted in a valley by enemy observers, and the artillery barrage which
ensued caused many casualties and disrupted all communications with-
in the battalion. Contact was later re-established, and the battalion
moved forward only to have the leading company and the following
company subjected to another intense artillery and mortar barrage.
This barrage alone cost the battalion 25 casualties. It was terrifying.
Mortar shells, with super-sensitive fuses, crashed into the trees about
the troops, exploded overhead, and doubled the effect of the shells . .
Casualties were severe, exceptionally so because of the bunching of the
men in their effort to keep in contact.
Schmidt wa s tough

History 5'
 As the heavy volume of mortar fire continued, a minor German counter-
attack ·was launched between the barracks area and Gerstenhof. This
attack was not serious, but everything added to the general confusion.
Both battalions were disorganized and out of control by daylight. Our
two battalions had converged in front of their objective and in the con-
fusion had become intermingled. This called for a fresh plan, which
Brigadier General Rice, the Assistant Division Commander, devised.' The
310th would finish up its own fight in the woods west of Schmidt;· the
311th woul? move cross country to take the town of Schmidt.
Instinctively, the men made their way across the road to the barracks '
side and surprisingly so on the 2nd Battalion was able to reorganize. The
1st Battalion regrouped later and again took off in the original direction.
The 2nd Battalion decided to change the approach and try for Gersten-
hof along the German military road, which ran west and north of the
main Schmidt road (direction of arrow on sketch indicates this). Company
G, under Captain Edward A. Murphy, led the drive by skillful coordi-
nation of infantrymen and light tanks, despite rugged terrain, dense
woods and enemy reaction. Numerous pillboxes were outflanked and
overcome, and prisoners began to be more frequent. By nightfall Gersten-
hof was captured.
It was an exciting day for Captain Murphy. In anticipation of the next
move, the captain went out on a reconnaissance after dark, got separated
from his bodyguard, was captured by the Germans and taken to R pill-
box north of Gerstenhof. During the night, he and the Germans sweated
out the morning attack by the 310th. It must have been his American
cigarettes, for he didn't speak the language, but anyway, just as the next
morning's artillery preparation for the attack lifted, here came Captain
Murphy at the head of his new recruits .. . 35 Jerries who had been con-
vinced it was wise to surrender. Rugged man, that Captain Murphy.
Following this very hectic day of February 6th, a council of war was
set up in the Regimental CP, now moved up to a sweating pillbox near
the barracks area. Here, the 3rd Battalion was scheduled to pass through
the 2nd Battalion before daylight on the morning of the 7th, and take the
woods west of Schmidt. A this point, the 310th was to be pinched out by
the 309th and 311 th converging on Schmidt, as called for in the new plan.
Although the 3rd Battalion undoubtedly could have reached Schmidt, the
Division Commander decided to put one battalion of the 311 th into the
final assault of the town, while the 3rd Battalion remained concealed in
the vicinity of the cluster of pillboxes just west of Schmidt. The Germans
spotted the 3rd Battalion in this waiting position and greeted them with a
terrific mortar barrage, inflicting far more casualties here than were
sustained in their advance to this point.
A new attack order for the 1st Battalion was issued at 1030. The order
required the 1st Battalion to , attack at 1330 astride the Strauch-Schmidt
highway, seizing all know!\ enemy installations west of Schmidt. This
attack commenced on time, despite heavy artillery concentrations, which
were sweeping the ground before the 1st Battalion.

68
 The attack met with
heavy enemy resistance
fr~m concrete pillboxes
and log bunkers con-
taining emplaced auto-
matic weapons. By
dark, the ~st Battalion
had advanced 1000
yards east qf' the line of
departure. Here, they
were ordered to dig in
a:o.d hold. The battalion
had suffered many
casualties. Company A
had been ambushed in
the dense woods and
their 1st and 3rd Platoons had been thoroughly cut up. In this action, every
man had been a hero. Because of the action of S/Sgt. George Perry and
Pfc. Paul Fuller, Jr., who courageously outflanked and succeeded in
knocking out an enemy machine gun emplacement, reorganization of the
.two platoons became possible. Those were bitter days.
During the afternoon of the 7th, elements of the 1st and 3rd Battalions,
311 th Infantry, managed to reach Schmidt and partly clear the town.
lt was a night filled with sniper fire and continuous mortar barrages. It
was a night ripe for rumor. It was reported to 310th Regimental Head-
quarters that Schmidt would be cleared by the 311 th, and on this premise,
plans for the 8th of February called for the 3rd Battalion to pass through
Schmidt, rapidly advance on Am Scheidbaum, and secure the high
ground beyond. The 1st and 2nd Battalions were to follow closely and
clear the woods north and northeast of Schmidt.
The first indication of additional trouble in Schmidt reached the CP
at about 0600, when an hysterical wireman rushed in to report that his
wire team, sent out by Regiment at 0430 to lay wire through Schmidt,
was fired on by a Jerry tank on the outskirts of town. He was the only
man to get away. Germans had infiltrated back into strong points within
the village and were a source of deadly trouble.
Instead, therefore, of passing through the town as expected, the 3rd Bat-
talion had another mission on its hands. Only men_of that Battalion lead
by the indomitable Lt. Col. Lutz can properly describe the hard street
fight that developed, and how after defeating an enemy tank-led counter-
attack, the 3rd Battalion, four hours later, was able to advance beyond
the e,a stern edge of town. While Company I mopped up, Company L
made imp·ortant contributions in'side Schmidt's inner strongpoints, and
Company K took the lead and continued the attack to the vicinity of Am
Scheidbaum, ~bout 1000 yards east of town. Thus the battalion conso-
lidated its position and dug in for the night.
Among the members of the 78th Division, there has been much dis-
cussion as to who actually captured Schmidt. The above details on the

69
 Pillbox

action of February 7-8 are from well informed and accurate sources. What-
ever the discussion, no one can deny that the 78th Division did the job.
While the 3rd Battalion was working to get through Schmidt, the lst
Battalion was s·ent around the left flank of the 3rd Battalion, in the area
between Harscheidt and Kommerscheidt, in order to secure Schmidt from
the north and relieve some of the pressure on the 3rd Battalion.
The 1st Battalion experienced severe losses in this area, particularly as
they crossed the Schmidt-Haarscheidt road. Heavy enemy fire from Har-
scheidt raked the battalion's ranks as they tried to move east. Elements
of the battalion descended into the deep draw south of Harscheidt, and
later succeeded in charging up the hill and capturing Harscheidt. Later
in the afternoon, the 1st Battalion reorganized, and Companies A and B
jumped off in a coordinated attack to the east ·again. They advanced
against light opposition to a point north of Am Scheidbaum, where fire
from four enemy tanks halted the drive. The troops dug in and spent a
miserable, rainy night, without food or water.
The 2nd Battalion moved into a forward assembly area in Schmidt in
the night, and made plans to attack in the morning. Into the woods
west of Schmidt that night moved an aggressive, smooth-functioning
outfit-' The Go-Devils". Colonel Van Houten's 60th Infantry Regiment
of the 9th Infantry Division was going to add its weight to the vital attack.
The 310th Regimental Command Post moved into a two sto:ry frame
dwelling, the inside of which was a , pillbox, the like of which would
have made any bank vault look simple. At 0300 on the morning of the

70
9th, the Battalion Commanders, Lt. Col. Harrison, Lt. Col. Culbreth and
Lt. Col. Lutz, reported there in Gerstenhof to learn the final plan. Th'e
310th was to continue the attack from Schmidt and secure the north or
left flank of the 60th Infantry, which was to drive east beyond Am
Scheidbaum and capture Hasenfeld. The 309th was still designated to
take the Dam.
The 310th Infantry had its 2nd Battalion commence its attack east and
north of Schmidt through the woods above Am Scheidbaum. Consider-
able mortar an4 small arms fire continued to come from the north beyond
Harscheidt. By noon of February 9, the battalion had reached the high
ground northeast of Am Scheidbaum. I
The 3rd Battalion, with Company K in the lead, attacked directly east
from Am Scheidbaum. Mortar and artillery fire was intense and in-
fantry resistance was unusually determined. In the woods north of
Hasenfeld, the Germans hung on doggedly. Some continued to fire from
dugouts until crushed by our supporting tanks. By early afternoon of the
9th, the 3rd Battalion had taken 50 prisoners and was already preparing
defensive positions overlooking the Roer River above Hasenfeld.
The 1st Battalion, which was only able to assemble a hundred-man task
force, moved across a line of departure 1200 yards east of Schmidt at
0930 the same morning. Their mission was to move down the east side
of the Schmidt-Hasenfelq road, and secure the road from enemy attack.
The 1st Battalion was to wait until the 3rd Battalion passed in front of
them, in their effort to seize the ground to the 1st Battalion's left front.
Then, the 1st Battalion was to continue the attack to the high ground
north and northeast of Hasenfeld. This attack commenced at about 0930,
and by 1430 the battalion had reached its objectives and captured over
60 prisoners.
When the battalion reached its objective there were only 90 men left
to hold the high ground overlooking Hasenfeld and the Dam. The Battle
of Schmidt had been.'cruel and devastating to the 1st Battalion.
Following these last drives by the 310th Infantry to the east, securing
th.e north flank and the high ground to the north of the Dams, the
60th Infantry was successful in capturing Hasenfeld, and the 309th In-
fantry came in between Hasenfeld and the lake to capture the north end
of the Dam.
Due to the general construction of the dam, the retreating Germans had
not elected to destroy it. Instead, they blew two great spillways, and the
Roer River was partially floode<f. After the capture of the Dam, it was
impossible to repair the damage, and eventually the extensive lakes
emptied themselves into the Roer River. The Germans' ace in the hole
was gone now, and as soon as the water receded, the Roer River ceased
to be a b<urier and a potential trap for the American divisions to the
north. The Germans had made the most of this ace however; they had
held up the U. S. Ninth Army for many months.
On the morning of the 9th, several changes occured in the Regimental
Command. Lt. Col. T. H. Hayes, former the Executive Officer, became the

71
Commander of the Regiment. Major Wilmer V. Bell, formerly S-3, be-
came Executive Officer, and Major Boggs A. Robinson became Com-
mander of the 1st Battalion. Colonel Miner had received orders trans-
ferring him from Infantry to General Staff Corps, to become Chief of
Staff of the 75th Division. Lt. Col. Harrison was ordered to the teaching
staff of the Paris Infantry School.
In the days that followed, Schmidt and the battalion's positions were
subjected to intermittent artillery and mortar fire from the Roer east
bank, while the troops worked to make their dugouts livable. Men were
rotated to the rear for baths, clean clothes and recreation, and limited
quotas were sent on pass to Engiand, Paris, Brussels, Huy, Liege and
the Division Rest Center at Rottgen. Again many hundreds of reinforce-
ments and more than a few cured casualties arrived, gradually returning
the regiment to normal strength. Infantry tank, weapons, assault boat, and
small unit training was conducted under the enemy's nose. Men got hair-
cuts too, and learned that sweaters were not an outer garment. ,
Elements of the 505th Parachute Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division
came into the area, and took up a defensive position along the Roer on
the left of the 310th Infantry.
At 0345 on February 13, two platoons of Company L quietly descended
the river bank and entered the town of Biens. Under direct observation
of the enemy, Biens was a dangerous town during daylight hours, and
movement of any kind was possible only at night.
After dark on February 14, the 1st Battalion sent a patrol to evacuate
13 civilians from Haversauel, a tiny village on the river bank.
Patrols were sent across the river on February 18, 21, and 23rd to plot
enemy installations. The Regimental Intelligence Platoon, under Lt.
Robert Endress, did good work on these patrols.
This was the period of waiting on the banks of the Roer for the next
couple of weeks; waiting for the big push up north in the Ninth Army
sector to commence. The Germans had blown the outlets to the dam just
right, so as to get the maximum delay from high water in the Roer River.
On "February 23rd, the Twelfth Army Group of General Bradley (First ahd
Ninth Armies) broke the stalemate in a tremendous offensive, throwing
its might across the Roer River and onto' the Cologne Plain. The 310th In-
fantrymen watched the swift advances with excitement. It would be a
matter of days until they were a part of it. The attack was echeloned in
time for the Ninth and First Armies, D plus 4 for the 78th Division:
At 0200 on February 28, a three-man Company F patrol, Lieutenants (then
T/Sgts) Cornelius Hinchy and Hubert Arsenault, and TiSgt Riley walked
across the top of the Dam. Miraculously escaping the mines and booby
traps which lined the enemy side of the Dam, the three sergeants worked
their way across steep wooded hills and deep ravines, to high ground
just outside Kloster Mariawald. There, nearly 5000 yards behind the
enemy lines, they ambushed and captured a five-man enemy mortar
crew, a nd in daylight (with their prisoners) returne d safe ty to the
regimental lines. The information they had secured on the disposition of

72
 the enemy fortifications, mine fi~lds, and
forces had been sought unsuccessfully b y
higher headquarters for some time and proved/
extremely valuable. Upon their return, the
patrol members were immediately awarded
Bronze Stars by Major General Parker.
The capture qf Schmidt and the Schwam-
menauel Dam marked the end of a costly
phase on the western front and for the 310th
Infantry. But the once-vaunted Siegfried Line
was a shambles of broken concrete and shat-
tered enemy hopes. There would be few more
tight earth-grubbing battles in which gains
could be measured only in bloody yards. The
fighting henceforth would be characterized by
broad, careless sweeps of fast moving armor.
It would be up to the infantry to smash strong
points, mop up by passed areas , and, as al-
ways, hold the ground.
The 310th had seen both good and bad days
in the former kind of fighting, had captured
or aided in the capture of 16 towns, reduced
130 pillboxes, and taken 580 prisoners of war.
The cost had been much in many cases. To
one infantryman and his kin, one death is
much. The next phase of the war, and all the
other phases to come, w.ere brighter for the
310th. In the race to the Rhine and thereafter,
the casualties were fewer, the results were more sat~sfying.
But, lest we forget, the victories had cost the regiment 1412 battle
casualties, and 774 non-battle casualties of which many cases were trench
foot and other injuries directly related to combat activity. In a sense, it
would be a new 310th which crossed the Roer, for 1868 reinforcements
had joined the regiment since December 13, 1944.
Orchids were not in season, in February 1945 in Germany, but if they
w ere, they would have gone to:
Lt. Col. Lutz and his 3rd Battalion-a great fighting leader and a great
fighting team.
Captain Edward Murphy, commander of 2nd Ba'ttalion's Company G. He
was as rugged as he looked, and he generally looked like the wrath
of God.
Chaplains Voelzke and Leugers, whose practice of brotherly love and
whose spiritual guidance contrasted so deeply with the military ne-
cessities of the time. Their devotion to duty with is on a parallel that of
the Company Medics.
The Regimental Command Post, which during the entire operation, was
up there close to the front, living no better than the doughboy himself,
and never out of the range of enemy mortars.

73
 Cannon Company, Anti-Tank Company and the Artillery, who were
actually part of the fighting front, and whose guns kept mighty hot.
Mighty fine shooting, fellows.
The Tankers who helped us, stuck their necks out plenty. It was com-
forting to have them so dose to you.
The S-4 or supply people for those boots and winterized clothing. It
was easier "sweating it out" up there when we could forget the wet feet.
Company B of the 303rd Engineers for their willing and constant support
in all problems.
The J erries, for the nice warm cellars they left us in Schmidt, even
though the town was a wreck.

THE RACE TO THE RHINE

Typical going

General Eisenhower had hoped and believed that his armies would trap
and annihilate the Germans west of the Rhine. The enemy was known
to have used between 25 and 28 Divisions in the Battle of the Bu;lge, with
the best oi these troops coming from the strategic reserve that guarded
the Cologne and Ruhr Valley. An estimated 90,000 German casualties
were inflicted in this battle of attrition. Prompt, speedy and decisive
action by the Allies was needed to take advantage of the enemy's weak-
ened condition.
Despite the fact that the enemy was suspected of being exhausted, the
general plan to cross the Roer was cautious. Instead of one grand, broad
sweep by all the divisions along the front, it was decided that there
should be several crossings in the Duren area, with a drive inland for a
proper beachhead and then a sharp turn south. This would outflank the

THE RACE TO 'THE RHINE

 Germans along the river bluff, causing thell). to withdraw or be cut off.
This would permit the next division to the south to cross the Ro e r
without opposition and execute a similar manoeuver. .
The Ninth Division was to cross at Nideggen, the 311th Regiment (of
the 78th) was to follow and, on crossing, immediately drive south along
the east bank of the Ro~r to Heimbach, thereby securing the south flank.
They were to find a resolute enemy, not yet convinced that the final
chapters of the war were being written.
From the very beginning, the race to the Rhine was intended to be a
great Ninth Army undertaking. Their drive started on February 23rd,
when the 8th and 104th Infantry Divisions crossed the still swollen Roer
and quickly captured Duren. Men of the 78th Division, then a part of the
First Army, silently cheered them on and kept their fingers crossed. It
was not until March 1st that the 310th was to find itself in the midst of
still another type of combat.
FIRST BATTALION ·
On March 1st, the 1st Battalion was rudely yanked out of their
defensive line along the banks of the Roer and told that they were going
for a long ride. It turned out to be more of a ride than anyone thought
possible. Attached to Combat -Command "B" of the 9th Armored Division,
they crossed the Roer River at Duren and went by motor to Vittweiss.
By March 2nd, the 1st Battalion had motored to Friesheim and were
preparing to attack the town of W eilerswist, a key road and rail center
just east of the Erft Canal.

SECOND BATTALION
Back on the Roer, on March 2nd, the 2nd Battalion was attacking on foot
across the Schwammenauel Dam to secure the south flank of the general
drive to the east by the 309th and 311 th regiments of the division. The
crossing of the ·dam was a risky venture, extensiv~ mine fields covered
the Roer Canyon trails, and enemy observers and mortar crews in the
h~gh hills beyond the canyon's floor dominated the approaches to the
battalion's objective-the Kloster Mariawald. The long, exhausting climb
into the highlands, however, was completed with not too many casualties,
and the assault on the Kloster buildings was succesfully led by Major
Henry Hardenburgh and Lt. James K. Bowman. The men of Companies E
and F did a masterly job in taking this objective, in defiance of the
enemy reserves in this southern area. Approximately 60 prisoners were
· taken. During this operation, the battalion was attached to the 311 th
\.
Regiment, already across at Nideggen and working its way south along
the river, wh~re it was to meet the 2nd Battalion. Following this action,
the 2nd Battalion was assigned to the 309th Regiment, and moved east by
motor many miles, into Fussenich on March 3rd, without further fighting.

THIRD BATTALION
The 3rd Battalion by March 2nd was rolling along attached to CCA of
the 9th Armored Division, with Sgt. Casey's platoon of the 310th's Cannon
Company attached. Their first troublesome objective was Wallersheim.

The men of Companies K and L managed to capture and clear out the
stubbornly defended Wallersheim woods by midnight. Some 65 to 70
prisoners were taken and an estimated 20 enemy were killed. The 3rd
Bat.t alion was not having too easy a time of it. Already there had been
no rest for 40 hours, but this was only the beginning.

FIRST BATTALION
Further east, on the night of March 2nd, the 1st Battalion had begun
their attack on Weilerswist. The troops attacked at 2300 and advanced
rapidly through machine gun, mortar and artillery fire to a patch
of woods 700 yards east of Friesheim. Severe opposition was im-
mediately encountered from a well-deployed and dug-in enemy
force. In addition, a continuous barrage of flat trajectory fire from a
section of 20mm guns and tree-bursting artillery and mortar shells fell
into the woods. The severity of this fire forced the troops to disperse so
widely that it was almost impossible to maintain contact in the darkness.
Nevertheless, the men continued to move eastward, fighting as individual
small units.
At 0100, three enemy tanks were heard approaching the woods from
the northwest. Five bazooka teams immediately left the protection of
the woods and advanced to meet the tanks. Their determined fire,
although unable to inflict damage, caused the tanks to withdraw, but
only after one of the bazookamen had been killed.
By 0300, the captain in command of the delaying force was captured,
22 of the enemy killed (by count the following morning) and the remain-
der wounded or driven off. The undiminished intensity of the artillery,
mortar and 20mm barrage made a continuation of the attack inadvisable,
and the troops dug in on the eastern edge of the woods. The enemy
continued to deliver harassing fire throughout the night. This had
indeed been an ordeal for those who survived it. This was the start of
the period which won the First Battalion its Presidential Citation (see
Annex).
The battalion jumped off again at 1000. The troops had at this time
he~n without sleep or appreciable rest for 51 hours, and had been under
continual fire for 19 hours. 1300 yards of completely flat and unbroken
terrain lay between the battalion and the Erft Canal. This ground was
raked by artillery, mortar, 20mm gun, and machine gun fire from the
vicinity of Bliesheim and the east bank of the canal, and by rifle and
burp g:un fire from approximately 30 enemy riflemen in skillfully placed
dug-in positions west of the canal. In addition, from a point 300 yards
west of the Erft to the canal itself were scattered anti-personnel mines,
and along the road and, in the fields were planted anti-tank mines.
Companies A and B advanced rapidly with troops dispersed along a
broad front. The men, despite the withering fire and severe casualties,
continued to a line approximately 300 yards from the canal where there
was a momentary halt. Company C was committed and moved forward
quickly. The enemy at this point blew the bridge across the canal.

 The supporting tanks remained in the woods throughout the attack and
the only artillery support was supplied by the Company D mortar platoon,
which fired more than 1800 rounds in the attack. So rapid was the fire
that the sockets of several mortars were knocked out of the baseplates.
Key men in all companies had been wounded or killed. In Company A
alone, Acting Commander Lt. Thomas Nolan and the platoon leaders of
the 1st and 3rd platoons, Lt. Gifford and Lt. Bliziotes, were wounded, and
S/Sgt. Spence, the 3rd Platoon sergeant, w a s killed. Nevertheless, after a
quick regrouping, the companies, using marching fire, continued to
advance and quickly reached the canal.
The Battalion Medical Aid Group, with the assistance of two squads
of Battalion A & P personnel, despite the intense fire and complete lack
of cover, saved many lives by immediate first aid and evacuation of
wounded.
The canal was waist to shoulder deep and men crossing it were easy
targets for enemy snipers as they struggled for foothold on this slippery
bottom and clambered up the terraced eastern bank. Snipers were over-
come by grenades followed by bayonets, and the companies, including
Company C, which was now on the line, entered Weile~swist on a wide
front. Inside the town, mopping up was difficult because of the rubble- /
filled streets and shattered buildings. This impeded the progress and
afforded excellent cover for enemy snipers. Nevertheless, by darkness
every building had been cleared and W eilerswist secured.

The victory had been costly-ten 1st Battalion men killed, and 123
wounded. But it had cost the enemy between 135 and 140 killed and an
unknown number wounded, and 46 captured. More important than dead
Germans though, was the break in the strongest defense line between
the Roet and Rhine in the 78th Division sector. The 1st Battalion had
taken it on the chin.
Rest was still impossible for the exhausted troops. The battalion was
far in advance, exposed to the right and left, and required to outpost the
entire town. At 0330 relief was effected by the 16th Infantry, and the
1st Battalion was ordered to assemble in Friesheim. It marched back in .
darkness and closed in at 0730. The men, who had then been without
rest for 72 hours, of which 27 hours had been spent under enemy fire,
slept until 1130. A hot breakfast was served-the first real meal in
62 hours.

THIRD BATTALION
Meanwhile, on March 3rd the 3rd Battalion captured three towns, Com-
pany L moved out at 0630, and following an artillery TOT at 0745,
assaulted Merzenich. Light resistance was overcome and the town
secured by 0815. Company K, which had assembled in a draw southwest
of Merzenich, attacked toward Sinzenich at 1145 under an extremely
heavy artillery barrage and heavy small arms fire. One platoon of tanks
was in support. Two hundred yards from the town, the 3rd Platoon was
pinned down by small arms fire from a tower on the west edge of town
. and machine gun fire from the left flank. S/Sgt. Cornelius J. Coughlin,
though seriously wounded, retained consciousness long enough to direct
tank fire on these strongpoints. SISgt. Charles F. Mason, wounded in the
hand, crawled 20 yards to another wounded man, dressed this man's
wounds, with one hand, then, with the help of another man, carried him
to a s~ell crater. Company K assaulted the town immediately, the
.machine guns were knocked out. Heavy enemy artillery fire fell through-
out ·and many of the houses were stubbornly defended. Civilians, some
of whom had been supplied with weapons, offered so much interference
that finally all 1650 of them had to be rounded up and placed under
guard. After killing more than 20 and capturing 32 enemy, the 3rd Platoon
finally reached the eastern limits of town at 1330 with 12 men. A peri-
meter defense was set up and a thorough search of the town netted 8
additional prisoners. Company K suffered 15 casualties in the action.
At 1400, Company I attacked and captured Floria against light resistance.
Four enemy were captured.

FIRST BATTALION
At 1300 March 4th, the 1st Battalion was back in action, moved by
truck to Disternicl_l, where it was given the mission to recross the Erft
Canal and capture Wustheim and Gross Bullesheim. The men detrucked
at Lommersum and went on foot to the ford opposite Wustheim. Com-
pany C crossed the ·canal just after dark and entered Wustheim against
light resistance. Company B, after capturing 85 prisoners in the northern

82
 part of Wustheim, advanced toward Gross Bullesheini. By an hour after
daylight, both Wustheim and Gross Bullesheim had been secured and
112 prisoners taken.

THIRD BATTALION
On the same day, at 1300 too the 3rd Battalion marched to Nemmenich,
and there briefed personnel for the attack on the important road, rail,
and communications center of Euskirchen. A city with a peacetime
population of 30,000 Euskircheu was a vital German army supply center,
the largest city yet encountered by any unit of the 78th Division.
The battalion, with Company I leading, moved forward .a t 1400 and
began the 5 mile advance to the objective. The flat terrain had recently
been plowed, and movement in the thick mud and steady rain was
difficult and exhausting. Every sugar beet pile was a potential strong-
point. 1'he entire route was under incessant observed artillery and
mortar bombardment and several times direct 88mm fire was encountered.
Machine gun fire from the railroad tracks above Ulpenich and Dursch-
even, and sniper fire from Irresheim was lively, almost immediately
beyond the line of departure. Northwest of enemy held Elsig, small arms
resistance from snipers became too severe to be bypassed, and one
platoon from Company I and one from Company L entered northern
Elsig. They cleared the northern part of town, killing 5 and capturing
11 enemy while the battalion continued the advance.
Even when the enemy fire was heaviest and casualties highest, the
men kept moving toward their objective, seldom hitting the ground and
urging one another on with shouts and jests. Not one squad scattered,
and not a man dropped out, unless severely wounded. Most of the
weapons became clogged with mud. There was neither time nor place
to stop. The m~n attempted to clean them while marching.

A few rounds should do it

History 6'
 Upon reaching a point 500 yards east of the barracks area in Eus-
kirchen, Company I was joined by 5 medium tanks. A hundred yards
forward, heavy anti-tank and machine gun fire opened up. Although one
light and one medium tank were knocked out, and the remainder with-
drew 700 yards, Company I battled forward another 200 yards, where it
came under heavy small arms fire from the group of barracks buildings
which covered the western approaches to town. The troops had advanced
so rapidly that friendly artillery was out of range. Upon learning this,
the company assaulted and fought through the area without artillery
support. By this time it had become dark. Progress within the city was
extremely difficult becau~e of shell craters, rubble-blocked streets, and
snipers. Finally, a route was found, and the company and supporting
armor reached the southwest edge of town at 2100. At this point, an
order was received to consolidate guard posts and begin to clean its
equipment which had become so mud .caked as to be unserviceable.
14 casualties had been suffered.
Meanwhile, in Company L, casualties had been extremely heavy,
particularly among officers a:g.d non-commissioned officers. The platoon
leader and two squad leaders in each of the attacking platoons, the 1st
and 3rd, were casualties. Reorganization of the company was affected
under fire, the barracks area cleared, men dug in, and patrols were sent
to probe deeper into the city.
Company K, suffering from 11 casualties, moved to the northeast section
of the city, and sent patrols to the railway bridge and highway bridges
east of the city. These were found to have been destroyed and the com-
pany thereupon set up a perimeter defense of the northeast sector.
The night was intensely cold, dark and stormy. The size and great
number of blasted buildings made it impossible to clean out the city. All
, personnel remained alert and on guard throughout the night. This required
exceptional endurance and_spirit, for the men were thoroughly soaked
and feeling the fuil effects of physical exhaustion. Since March 1st, they
had marched more than 18 miles, ·a t least 8 of which had been under
direct fire, fought three battles and barely managed eight hours of what
was called sleep.
Euskirchen was mopped up in the morning. It produced 1.50 prisoners.
The statistical price paid by the 3rd Battalion was 56 casualties (principally
from shell fragments) bringing the three day· total to 96.
The 60th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Infantry Division was being held
in reserve of the 9th Armored Division for the express purpose of captur-
ing Euskirchen. ·when the 3rd Battalion took the city alone, the 60th In-
fantry returned to its own outfit. The 310th had repaid the "Go Devils"
for their help at the Dam.

FIRST BATTALION
Consolidation of fl9-nk positions was not to be neglected. At 1200 on
March 5th, Company B from Gross Bullesheim and Company C from
Wustheim attacked Kleinbullesheim. Opposition was slight and the town
was taken without too much trouble.

84
SECOND BATTALION
While no one will say that the 2nd Battalion was champing at the bit,
it was not being overlooked. It was motorized again and brought up to
Euskirchen, where, with several armored units, it became part of Combat
Command "A". This all took place on March 5th. After a very hasty
briefing and a somewhflt rushed up coordination of attached armored and
artillery support, the battalion moved out from Euskirchen across a
hastily constructed ford over the Erft Canal.
Inadequate radio communication with the tanks greatly impeded coor-
dination, and Cuchenheim just across the canal turned out to be a tough
nut for the men of Company F. It was here that their fearless leader,
James K. Bowman, (just promoted to Captain that morning) fell. Other
losses were heavy, and the attack continued far into the night. Cuchen-
heim was to be the hardest and most costly fight for any units of the
2nd Battalion in the Roer campaign.
Company G, sparked by Captain Edward Murphy, took Weidesheim,
and Companies E and G rolled on into the darkness to the outskirts of
Rheinbach by morning. Two platoon of the 310th's Cannon Company,
directed by observer Lt. Gerold Anderson, gave wonderful supporting fire
and eased the burden of the infantrymen. By noon, Rheinbach was
captured and many prisoners taken. The 2nd Battalion had struck with
speed. The Combat Command now sent other units shooting ahead for
Ringen. At Ringen, the 2nd Battalion was to take up the pursuit again.
Among the 310th Infantry trophies is the official Nazi party flag taken at
Ringen, by Lt. Dowd, the R~gimental Adjutant, who was immediately be-
hind leading elements, searching for a forward Regimental CP location.

THIRD BATTALION
The 3rd Battalion learned there was no rest for the weary. Their next
experience was to leave an indelible impression.
At 1100 on the 5th of March, Company I moved out of Euskirchen with
one platoon of light tanks, one platoon of mediums, and a section of TD's.
Rotzheim was the objective. The town and its approaches were defended
by concrete machine gun emplacements at the northwest and southwest
corners of town. Snipers, well placed, filled in the gaps. This assured
command of the canal, as well as 200 yards of open ground west of it.
The c9mpany advanced through sporadic small arms fire to a large
ditch 200 yards west of the canal, just opposite Rotzheim. One tank had
been knocked out by mines, and the 1st Platoon was wading across the
waist deep canal when machine guns and mortars opened fire. The
platoon was forced to remain in the canal where it was protected by the
steep .eastern bank. S/ Sgt. Grover G. Meadown immediately raced back
through the heavy enemy fire to the remainder of the company in the
ditch. He informed Captain Lester K. Olson, the Company Commander,
that the bridge (which could not be seen from the ditch). was out, and
miraculously returned uninjured to his platoon. A messenger was sent to
the canal to ascertain whether it was fordable by tanks. He and another

messenger were both seriously wounded in the attempt. T/5 Carroll E.

Pamplin, company aid man, rushed from the canal to give them first aid.
He was hit in the side after crawling 20 yards, but' continued until he was
hit again. S/ Sgt. Meadows, exposing himself to the heavy fire for the .
third time, went to the aid of the medic and was mortally wounded. The
third platoon, in a quick dash, had crossed the canal 'on the right flank
of the first, and was pinned down against some buildings at the canal's
edge. Meanwhile, Captain Olson, followed at five minute intervals by
his radioman, whose boot, sleeve, and spare parts kit were hit, and the
remainder of the headquarters group, two of whom suffered minor
wounds, reached the canal, While the group was pinned down . in the
canal, the enemy launched two counterattacks in platoon strength. Both
of these were driven off, but only after the company's ammunition had
been nearly expended. One of the tanks was sent to Euskirchen for re-
supply. By this time, the 2nd Platoon had rushed to the canal. Upon the
tank's return, a fordable spot had been located. The tank was ordered ·
to cross the .c anal and start up the eastern bank until it's tilt caused the
bandoliers of ammunition tossed up out of the turret to land on the side
of the tank and slide off into the hands of the men standing in the canal.
The crossing was accomplished at 1630 and the company, after four hours
in the canal, continued the assault.
One squad attacked the two machine gun emplacements on the north
and another the two on the south. The five enemy in each emplacement
resisted so stubbornly that their guns were silenced only when all of
them had been killed by rifle or BAR fire. Every house in town was
defended bitterly by enemy with automatic weapons. One enemy platoon
attempted to retreat to the southeast, but was cut off and liquidated by
the 2nd Platoon. Finally, at 2100, the town was cleared. 165 prisoners were
taken, and 62 enemy killed. Among the prisoners were three SS captains,
two of whom attempted to escape and were killed, and four SS non-com-
missioned officers, who, when questioned, spit at their interrogaters.
They were given a thorough lesson in proper manners; something, we
hope·, that created a lasting impression. Other prisoners stated that they
had been ordered to fight to the death by the SS leaders. Company I
suffered 30 casualties in this attack.
The company was ordered to protect the south flank of town and had
prepared positions, when a message relayed from the battalion told of 200
enemy massing to the s outhwest near Rheder. This made it necessary to
thoroughly outpost the area, and prevented more than two hours sleep
for any of the troops. They had at this time fought almost continuously
· fOI' 30 hours, with barely eight hours sleep in five days.
During the day, the remainder of the battalion had been divided into
sections which searched every room of every building in Euskirchen,
capturing 30 prisoners in the process. At 1700, it was feared that Com-
pany I, in Rotzheim, might be cut off by the enemy attack which was
expected from Rheder. Although this counterattack did not materialize,
the report necessitated a shift in defensive positions, and caused all
personnel to remain alert and without rest until 0200 the following morn-

87
ing. Although they did not know it then, the 3rd Battalion was already
engaged in winning their Presidential Citation.
On March 6th, the Regimental CP was in operation in Rheinbach. The
1st Battalion, motorized, followed CCB armor and mopped up the towns
of Miel, Morenhoven, Flerzheim, and Luftelsberg. The 2nd Battalion pre-
pared to move from defensive positions in Rheinbach. The 3rd Battalion
moved to an assembly area in Rheinbach, where the troops were billeted
and gained a night of much needed rest.
THE FOLLOWING DAY WAS MARCH 7, 1945. A DAY
THAT CHANGED THE FUTURE COURSE OF THE WA:R !.
On that day, the 2nd Battalion reached the Ahr River and moved across
to Heimersheim and then continued to attack southward against moderate
resistance. How many men of the battalion remember the great wine
cellar? The 3rd Battalion passed through the 60th Armored Infantry Bat-
talion and against considerable resistance, captured what we were told
by the enemy was the open hospital city of Bad Neuenahr, and the bridges
across the Ahr River.
The 310th Infantry (less 1st Battalion) attached to CCA was now in
position facing south along the Ahr River. We waited for CCB (with our
1st Batta~ion attached) to come up on our left on the west bank of the
Rhine. We would then drive south to meet the Third Army. This was
the "plan"-it was not to be.

FIRST BATTALION
The 1st Battalion units, widely separated from the previous day's
action, assembled in Flerzheim at 0100. The battalion moved to Stadt-
Meckenheim and then to Adendorf, where it was split into three task
forces, each consisting of a rifle company with heavy weapons attached,
and a platoon of medium tanks. The forces were designated by the letter
of the company which was a part of it. Task Force A captured Holzem
and Villip, Task Force B secured Gimmersdorf an1 Liessem, and Task
Force C took Oberbache;m and Niederbachem against moderate resi-
stance. At 1600, when Task Force B was about to enter Lannesdorf, and
Task Force C was engaged in fierce fire fighting inside Mehlemm, the Bat-
talion Commander received an urgent message. The battalion was to
assemble immediately and prepare for a motor movement to Remagen.
CCB HAD JUST CAPTURED INTACT THE LUDENDORFF
BRIDGE ACROSS THE RHINE.
Company A of the 27th Armored Infantry Battalion did the job.
The 1st Battalion broke contact with the enemy and was quickly
assembled in Berkum by 2100. The command group moved to Remagen
at 2300 and the remainder of the battalion followed one hour later.
THE FIRST BATTALION, 310TH INFANTRY OF THE 78TH
DIVISION WAS TO BE THE FIRST INFANTRY BATTALION
OVER THE RHINE.

88
 For this event and the actions immediately preceding and following it,
the 1st Battalion has received a Presidential Citation. The order given to
this battalion on the night of March 7-8 may well go down in history as
a classic. It was-"Cross the Rhine, turn right, and attack!"
The Ninth Army up north p.ad reached the Rhine three days before,
but there were only two ways across; assault boats or a floating bridge.
Plans were already formulated for both when the world was electrified.
The sacred Rhine was in our control.
The tired men of the 310th were to learn what it takes to hold a bridge-
head pointing into the heart of Germany proper. ·
Reference to the map covering the Roer to the Rhine will properly
indicate what the 310th had accomplished on that exploit. Unfortunately,
red ink was necessary for the debit side of the ledger. The regiment lost
55 killed, 7 missing, 262 wounded, and 79 evacuated for non-battle casual-
ties (including trench foot and battle fatigue), a total of 403 men.
There isn't a man, from the Regimental Commander down to the most
recent reinforcement who joined the race, who doesn't deserve special
commendation for his contribution to breaking the tape at Remagen.

CHAPTER EIGHT
REMAGEN BRIDGEHEAD

It take.s a lot to give a dogtired doughboy a thrill. Capture of the

Ludendorff (Remagen to the boys) Bridge did just that. Nobody had to
tell the men of the 310th what it meant. It was practically in their own
back yard. Maybe now the crazy Jerries would give up. Men died in that
constant hope. It's what made bearing so much misery possible. The
time WRS not ripe though. The Germans needed more convincing, and the
310th was to help tighten the screws.
In seven swift days, the American Ninth and First Armies had actually
ripped the German Wehrmacht to ribbons in their dash to the Rhine.
Various elements of the German First Parachute, Fifth Panzer and Fif-
teenth Armies had managed to escape across the Rhine in the Cologne
and Duisburg area, but all up and down the front, thousands of prisoners
streamed in-some first class soldiers--sbme unfit for such hardships. A
certain disheartening spirit of defeat seemed to spread through the Ger-
man ranks. Many of the villages, as at Rheinbach and Heimersheim, sur-
rendered with hardly a fight. White flags made from bedsheets, table-
cloths or an old undershirt were no longer unfamiliar. Ca.ptured Luegers
and P-38's were no longer rare museum pieces.
But whatever the next few days held in store for the 310th Infantrymen,
the crossing of the Rhine at 1550 hours on March 7 by a company of
armored infantry of Combat Command B of the 9th Armored Division
was an unexpected and remarkable accomplishment.
The ··watch on the Rhine" had certainly been poorly kept. That the
Wehrmacht had allowed the most formidable barrier in Western Europe
to be penetrated so quickly and easily must have been a terrific shock
to every German. It was good to contemplate Hitler foaming at the
mouth. The Rhine is no insignificant waterway-it looks like the Ohio
River at its mouth, or the Mississippi north of St. Louis. On the east
side, high bluffs dominate the river bank all along from Cologne south.
There had been no time for the men of the 3l0th to contemplate the
hazards and horror of an assault crossing of this mighty obstacle in the
face of determined enemy resistance from the cliffs and hills beyond the
river ... and this was good.
Let's briefly review how the Remagen Bridge fell into our hands.
The 310th's 1st Battalion had been sent to the west flank to secure
several small villages, while the remainder of CCB made for Remagen,

91
hoping to find favorable points for future bridging. There had been no
intelligence information on the condition of the railway bridge for several
weeks. The Ludendorff Bridge, with its 400 yard long, three span struc-
ture, was spotted in early afternoon on the 7th from the hills overlooking
Remagen. The mechanized forces of CCB, with Company A, 27th Armored
Infantry Battalion leading, sped on down to the bridge's approaches in a
flurry of shooting. The structure looked intact. In an interim of spotty
resistance and much uncertainty the span was crossed. General Hoag of
CCB took advantage of the unexpected situation. The sacred Rhine had
been humbled.
The Germans had evidently stripped the area of troops to meet
emergencies further north. The Ninth Army in the Cologne area was
making the main effort and the Germans knew it . Capture of the bridge
was indeed a fantastic turn in the war. It was supposed to have been
blown as the Americans arrived, but the demolitions failed to take effect.
Before the newsprint was cold, the "experts" began predicting that the
Remagen accident would shorten the war by six to eight weeks. Roads
were full of news correspondents coming from Cologne to the new focd
point. New and on-the-spot strategy was necessary. The town of Re-
magen, on the west bank, had, in a matter of hours, became the most im-
portant place in the world. Like a gigantic funnel. the streets were
jammed with tanks, half tracks, trucks and troops. The enemy had been
considerate in another way. For their own use, they had converted the
railroad bridge (for that's what it really was) into a vehicular one. Now
a thin stream of tanks and vehicles were able to cross on the wooden
planking.
The 310th was only a two hours' march from Remagen.
By midnight ' March 7th, the 1st Battalion detrucked from motors in
Remagen's town square and prepared to cross. The morning of the 8th,
less than 12 hours after the initial crossing by the armored infantry of the
9th Armored Division, the 1st Battalion was across, the first battalion of
the first division of Infantry to cross the Rhine. Artillery fire was light
during the crossing, but the confusion of men and armor jammed together
in the darkness made for a perilous operation. As some men discovered,
the artillery bursts would sometimes rip the wooden flooring away,
leaving nothing but the water below to swallow up the unfortunate ones
who stepped in these holes. ··
Sergeant James L. Heaton of Company B was the first infantryman of
the 310th to set foot on the Rhine's east bank.
Upon crossing, the 2nd Platoon of Company B advanced directly up the
steep hill overlooking the bridge and proceeded overland to Kasbach ..
The remainder of the company turned southeast and guided on the river
road to an underpass leading into the town. These elements had advanced
less than 150 yards from the bridge when they intercepted and, after a
fire fight, captured a seven man enemy patrol. The patrol, which was
carrying heavy demolition equipment, had orders to destroy the bridge

92
 l
at all costs. This was only one of several daring attempts by land, water,
and air to belatedly rectify that fatal German mistake.
Company C cleared the bridge . well before daylight and proceeded
south along the river road. Overcoming sporadic resistance along the
route, and capturing a German major, two lieutenants and an orderly in
a former American jeep, the company entered the outskirts of Linz and
turned north cross country to Ockenfels.
Company A, upon turning south, encountered small arms resistance from
enemy dug in between the road and river along the railroad tracks. A
skirmish line was immediately formed and the company cleared both
sides of the road, capturing · over 100 prisoners in the operation. It then
proceeded to Ockenfels.
Both Kasbach and Ockenfels fell quickly and Company A moved into
Linz, which was undefended. Throughout the remainder of the day and
th~ night, the companies maintained their widely separated and precarious
positions. The troops had not more than 14 hours sleep in eight days
and were suffering severely from exhaustion. Nevertheless, it was neces-
sary for then'l to remain continuously alert for the large scale counter-
attack which it seemed certain the Germans would launch.
Meanwhile, the 310th Infantry (less the 1st Battalion) was protecting
the south flank of the First Army along the Ahr Ri\;er just west of
Remc;tgen. On March 8, the 2nd Battalion advanced to an area 2000 yards
south of Heimersheim, where it set up defensive positions. One of Gene-
ral Patton's columns was driving across its front far to the south. The 3rd
Battalion cleared the section of Bad Neuenahr south of the Ahr River
and secured the high ground to the south. This ground was extremely
important since it overlooked Bad Neuenahr and Route 266, the main
supply artery to the fledgling Rhine Bridgehead. Company K captured an
enemy outpost manning a 75mm anti-tank weapon which was placing
direct fire on this route.
On March 9th, friendly units which had begun to reinforce the bridge-
head in slowly incre!}sing numbers took over the 1st Battalion's positions
and the battalion moved from the security positions on the high ground
southeast of Linz. The 2nd and 3rd Battalion held and improved their
defensive positions west of the Rhine and prepared for the anticipated
order to make the crossing. The order came that night for the 310th to
join the fight in the Bridgehead.
The Regimental Commander had made one previous trip across the
Rhine the morning of March 8 to check on the condition of the 1st Bat-
talion already across. The night of the 9th, he crossed again to receive
orders from General Louis Craig of the 9th Infantry Division, who com-
manded all troops in the Bridgehead.
The enemy, caught flatfooted and disorganized by ,the unexpected
crossing in the Remagen i?ector, hastily consolidated, drew on other
regions and was ready for an all-out effort to wipe out the bridgehead.
March lOth and 11th would determine life or death.

 MARCH 10, 1945
The 1st Battalion assaulted Dattenburg. Company C attacked from the
west and Companies A and B from the north. Company C moved along
the river road shortly after dawn, and was severely harrassed by small
arms fire and grenades from well dug in and concealed positions on the
hi gh ground to the left. At the intersection of the river road and the
road leading east into Dattenburg, the lead tank hit anti-tank mines, and
prevented other tanks from continuing. From this intersection, the road
became a narrow draw, commanded by steeply rising high ground on
either side. At a high point at the very western edge of town was a
castle which had formerly been a Nazi headquarters and armory.
Company C advanced through the draw with two squads of the 1st
Platoon on line. The 3rd Platoon moved 300 yards south on the river road
and set up a road block. The 4th Platoon was in support. Panzerfaust,
machine gun, and rifle fire from the high ground and the castle inflicted
heavy casualties on the leading squads. They nevertheless kept moving
and with the aid of a Company A platoon which attacked from the north-
west, assaulted the castle and searched its 200 odd rooms. 117 prisoners,
most of them SS and paratroopers, were captured in the castle and its
immediate vicinity, as -.:v-ell as 72 machine guns, and large stores of burp
guns, machine pistols, ·and small arms ammunition. The new war cry
came into being, "A Lueger for every man."
Meanwhile, Company B jumped off with one machine gun platoon in
support, and advanced· southeast to the crest of the high ground on the
northeast outskirts of town. There, it encountered an unusually intense
concentration of 20mm, machine gun, mortar and artillery fire, which in-
flicted heavy casualties and effectively prevented further advance.
Company A, however, moving forward to the right of Company B, had
encountered comparatively light resistance, and at 1600, with Company
C, launched a coordinated attack which quickly secured the town. The
"A" Task Force, consisting of one 12 man platoon of Company A, one
light machine gun squad, and a platoon of tanks, was sent to assist Com-
pany B, which was still in difficulty in the north end of town. Th.is force
battle9. a full enemy 20mm gun company with infantry and anti-tank
weapons support. When the tanks were held up, Pvt. Alfredo Lavato
advanced · under heavy fire to within several yards of a dug jn enemy
bazookaman and killed him with a grenade. After a fierce fight , the eight
enemy 20mm guns were knocked out, 12 enemy killed, 14 captured, and
Company B was relieved.
Companies A and C moved to high ground to the east and south of
town as the enemy withdrew, while tl~eir mortars' constant barrage kept
our troops heads down. One group of enemy seen retreating through a
draw southeast of town was decimated by the fire of the battalion
mortars and machine guns which were quickly set up.
The 27th Armored Infantry Battalion (of the 9th Armored Division)
1elieved the 1st Battalion at 1900 and dug in south and east of town, while
the 1st Battalion set up a defense line to the north and west.

95
 In this Dattenburg action, the 1st Battalion suffered casualties of two
officers and six men killed, and 53 wounded. 162 enemy prisoners were
taken and at least 85 enemy wounded or killed.
Shortly after midnight the night of March 9-10, the Regiment moved
for the bridge. The 2nd Battalion led out of the Heimersheim area toward
the bridge, jeeps bringing up their rear. It was a black night, relatively
quiet, till the outskirts of Remagen were reached. There, the constant
crack of our artillery (still on the west side of the Rhine) and the flash of
each muzzle blast gave the men the indication of trouble ahead.
The enemy by now was thoroughly aroused and the fury of his resi-
stance made itself felt by the intense artillery fire directed at the bridge.
Clean hits on the girders flashed like sparks from a welder's torch, but
after the injured were taken care of and the rear of a jeep yanked out
of a gaping hole in the flooring, the troops moved on. Mr. Clifford Robin-
son, our ever-present Red Cross representative, was there ducking shells
on that bridge. He was at Kesternich and all the other places too.
The last elements of the 2nd Battalion stepped onto the Rhine's east bank
at 0525. Colonel Hayes was at the east end of the bridge directing the
movement. The advance party and guides had been sidetracked by MP's
at the congested approaches to the bridge, but the R~imental Com-
mander, his jeep driver and radio operator had gotten across to guide the
troops. The staggered column made its way along the river road, through
Kasbach and up the right turn toward Ohlenberg, designated as the
assembly area. It was then 0605, March 10, 1945. Five minutes later,
before Ohlenberg was reached, the entire battalion was fighting for its
existence, and the very existence of the bridgehead. They found them-
selves the only troops between advancing Germans and the Bridge!
A strong force of enemy armor and infantry had just broken through
and mauled a batallion of the 47th Infantry Regiment, and had retaken

96
 Obrunt, a village just northeast of Ohlenberg. There was no time for
grouping men, or telling them what the score was. They acted instinc-
tively. Riflemen of the 2nd Battalion dug in quickly just beyond the edge
of town. Machine gunners took the best positions that were available
and the 30 cal. watercooled weapons started to bark. Company H mor-
tars were set up and firing by 0615. Never before had the 81's been so
important and speed so vital. Two men dropped shells into each stove
pipe as fast as they could. Base plate sockets broke and the barrels were
red hot, but they pumped out the rounds. Better than 700 rounds were
fired in less than an hour. Captain Hopkins, Lt. Howard, Drennan and
Weaver can be proud. This engagement may well have been one of the
most critical of the war. Because this action took place in the 47th In-
fantry sector, Lt. Col. Culbreth's Battalion was attached temporarily to
that Regiment.
The enemy dead were literally piled up. The counterattack was broken.
The bridgehead was destined to grow, but not without pain.
Now was the time to attack. Weapons were still hot from the defensive
fight when at 0735, the assault was l·.mnched. The objective, a high hill
northeast of Ohlenberg.
Everything was going fine; the enemy was on the run ... until the men
reached the west side (reverse slope) of the hill. Then hell broke loose,
it was as if the enemy knew we were due there and when. A mortar
barrage perfectly zeroed in and beautifully timed took a heavy toll.
Company E was stripped of all but one .officer, Captain Murphy, that
staunch leader of Company G, was badly ripped by shell fragments.
There was more artillery and mortar fire than had been encountered since
Simmerath and Kesternich.
It was an all day struggle, gains being measured by yards. The Germans
were determined to hold. By nightfall, the battalion had reached
the crest of the hill overlooking Kalenborn and extended their line later-
ally to tie in with the 3rd Battalion, which had moved in on the south
side of the high ground. ·
Now to hold for the night.
Up to this point, little has been said of the 3rd Battalion. Don't get the
impression they were resting somewhere, watching the show from the
sidelines. Far from it.
The 3rd Battalion followed the 2nd across the Remagen Bridge under a
hail of artillery. Just as the rifle companies were crossing, a German
artillery hell made a direct hit on the bridge, lighting the darkness with
it white flash and sparks. As luck would have it, the' shell had landeq
between companies K and L. There were no casualties.
The 310th Infantry now had lost the use of its 1st and 2nd Battalions,
. which were attached to other units because of the extraordinary situation
in the Bridgehead. Only the 3rd Battalion and Special Units, including
tanks and TD's remained uncommitted. General Craig, commanding the
Bridgehead, attached the 52nd Armored Infantry Battalion to the 310th
Regiment. The Regiment now had the mission of taking the high hills

History 7 97
overlooking Kalenborn, from which the German threat was coming. This
was the "thin" danger point of the Bridgehead for the first week. b
General Craig's words, "We must expand in that direction to keep this
from becoming a second Anzio Beachhead."
The attack order was issued at the CP of Lt. Col. Prince, of the 52nd
Armored Infantry (code name "Collar") . The order: "Attack, Collar on
the left, Diploma Blu~ on the right."
Jumping off from the vicinity of an old brewery north of Kasbach at
1330, 10 March, in a column of companies, L, K, I, the 310th Infantry's
3rd Battalion advanced along the fringe of woods south of the railroad
tracks. The enemy situation was unknown, as was the exact nature of the
objective, the only possible reconnaissance having been on a map. In
addition to receiviJ?;g extremely heavy artillery fire and annoyance from
snipers through the uphill advance, German planes swooping up from
attacks on the bridge strafed the battalion. A bomb dropped by one of
them knocked out an entire squad of the attacking platoon of Company L.
The terrain was extremely difficult. Generally, the advance had to be
made single file, and in several places, a loss of foothold would have
meant serious injury or death. Upon reaching the edge of the woods
immediately west of the objective, Company L bore the full brunt of an
artillery TOT which fell short and lost the major part of a squad of its
other attacking platoon. Despite the severe casualties, Company L
attacked at 1835, surprised 25 enemy, including 5 officer artillery obser-
vers, secured its portion of the objective and dug in on the southern and
eastern portion of the heights.
Company K set up defenses along the edge of the road just northeast of
Ohlenberg. The 1st Platoon made five attempts to place a road block 500
yards up the road, but each time was driven back by tank and machine
gun fire from concealed positions in a woods.
Initially in reserve, Company I reached the woods immediately west
of the battalion objective at dark without having a chance to recon-
noiter its attack route in the daylight. The company worked its way
through extremely thick underbrush to a point half way to the summit
in its zone. The 2nd Platoon climbed to the summit where it set up
defensive positions. The 1st and 3rd Platoons dug in on the slope to the
left flank of the 3rd Platoon. Positions were selected in darkness and
the troops dug in under heavy artillery fire.
The 52nd Armored Infantry Battalion, attacking on the left .. was having
difficult going, but did not meet with the same success. This battalion
was operating without the half track vehicles in which the men were
accustomed to being motorized. When almost on their objective, they
were driven back, exhausted, to their starting point. This action left
the 3rd Battalion of the 310th Infantry in an exposed but vital position.
Lt. Col. Hayes, ordered the Armored Infantry to reaxganize and rest in
their assembly area in Regimental Reserve. He then requested the
return of the 2nd Battalion (310th) to regimental control an order to
continue the job.

98
 Regimental Headquarters had moved across the bridge with the troops,
and at the risk of being cut off in any successful counterattack, set up
shop in a wine cella r in Kasbach. The mjldewed walls and poor venti-
lation were hardly conducive to ideal functional operation. Maps
adorned the cellar walls and the black crayon pencil made bold and
daring strokes ov~r the acetate. It was all a gamble, but it had to work.
Strategy, tactics and coordination of units is no simple job. Each move
has to be watched and checked, each gain recorded and each casualty
figured in the next plan. All this tied in with what other units were
doing and planning to do. There is really no completely isolated assault
even though to the man in the shellhole, it may seem that he's been
abandoned.
There was cold sweat in that cellar that day and marvelous ingenuity
and directness of purpose. Major Forrest Gatchel, the Regimental S-3,
was doing all that he could, and so was Major Carson, the S-2.
Communications are not always the best, · and reports can be conflict-
ing and confusing. It had become a familiar sight to see Lt. Col. Hayes
on personal reconnaissance either in his three-jeep convoy with radio
and Cal. 50 machine gun, or on foot with his big black map case in one
hand and a cane in the other. He limped badly from an injury ag-
gravated in that first action at Rollesbroich.
It had been a full day indeed, and sleep, eve:r: at the Regimental CP,
was out of the question. A vigil would be kept.

MARCH 11, 1945

It was a fitful night. Rumblings of tanks, enemy tanks, could be heard
from the distance. Word had it that the enemy was pouring· in reinforce-
ments. Artillery and mortar fire was incessant. It's nerve wracking,
watching the seconds of darkness tick off into hours. Dawn comes as a
blessing. And dawn kept its appointment on the morning of the 11th.
The night had been weathered.
The 1st Battalion continued to be a part of CCB, and strengthened its
positions for most of the day. Other plans for the employment of this
battalion were under discussion and they were to be prepared to move
elsewhere.
The 2nd Battalion, having secured their original "assembly area·· at
Ohlenberg, now came back under 310th Infantry controL The mission
was to take the high hill which had not been taken the day before. The
attack by the 2nd and 3rd Battalion would go on from there. It was
known iri advance that there would be a concentration of enemy in-
fantry and armor in the area, but the strength and dispositions of the
forces was undetermined. The great German highway, the Autobahn,
wasn't far away, and it was known that enemy reinforcements were
streaming south from the Cologne area.
It was the 2nd Battalion plan to drive their attached armor (one platoon
of Company B 893rd TD's) and one platoon of Company B, 774th Tank 1
Battalion, around the south end of the big hill and come at Kretzhaus

from the south. The infantry troops of Companies F and G were to advance
due east toward Kretzhaus directly on leaving the foxholes on the hill.
The attack got under way, then the troops ran into severe and accurate
fire from every self-propelled gun to the north and mortar supporting
small arms fire from the vicinity of Kalenborn. The men were struggling
up these hills when a vicious counterattack materialized. There were
conflicting reports of the size and power of the enemy force, but there
was no question as to its intensity . . The Germans were resolved to keep
the Kretzhaus crossroads and eventually drive the U.S. forces back into .
the Rhine. Enemy anti-tank fire blocked the armored support the 2nd Bat-
talion had counted on. To the men, exposed as they were, the situation
was desperate.
Higher echelon expected Kretzhaus not only to be taken, but to be held.
Necessity sometimes dictates an on-the-spot decision to the contrary.
Companies F and G fell back to the slopes of the big hill some 400 or
500 yards.
This withdrawal was neither ordered or desired at the time, but it turned
out several hours later to be a wise move. From this dominating ground,
it would have been well nigh impossible for the Germans to break
through the crossed fire of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions. A stronger German
counterattack seemed in the making, an attempt no doubt to reach the
bridge by striking through Ohlenberg. From Ohlenberg, it was only 2800
yards to the Remagen Bridge. Elsewhere, the bridgehead had expanded in
depth. This was the shortest route.
The remaining men of the 2nd Battalion consolidated their defensive pos-
ition on the big hill and extended their line of defense to the north and
northwest, where it was possible to guard against any hostile approach
along the railroad right-of-way. Here they remained to absorb the
punishing effect of. continuous artillery and mortar barrages and repulse
any attempt at penetration. Come what may, the Germans did ·not break
through.
It was during this hectic session that Lt. Col. Culbreth, ill and suffering
the full effects of realization of the ordeal his men were going through,
was evacuated. Major Henry H. Hardenbergh assumed command of
the battalion.
The 3rd Battalion was keenly aware of the drama ·over on their flank.
It meant their possible full scale employment at any moment. Time
wasn't spent idly, though a rest had been earned. The men, under
heavy artillery fire, searched their area and rounded up several
prisoners.
At 3130, the enemy launched a counterattack with 7 tanks and a
battalion of infantry. The 1st Platoon of Company I immediately moved
to the summit on the 2nd Platoon's right flank, and after a robust fire
fight, drove back the enemy, which had managed to break through
between Company L and the 2nd Platoon of Company I.
At th.e ~arne time, elements of Company I on the far left flank,
knocked out an enemy machine gun crew as it was setting up its gun
in an extremely threatening position.

101
 Pfc. William F. Lambert of Company I waited with his bazooka until the
approaching tanks were less than 40 yards from him. He then scored
two direct hits on each of the lead tanks. The giant tanks (believed to
have been Royals) were not crippled, but realized their position wasn't
healthy. No . further convincing was necessa ry. They turned around
and retreated with the others toward Kretzhaus.
When 3rd Battalion Headquarters Company, which had been ordered
forward to reinforce the defenses, arrived, the counterattack had been
broken. Approximately 40 enemy had been killed and 20 taken prisoner.
Then the battalions, . including the 52nd Armored Infantry Battalion,
in Regimental Reserve, continued improving their defensive positions
and preparing for the next day's attack, whether it be U. S. or German,
or both.
Another" night of watchful waiting and wondering what tomorrow
would bring.
MARCH 12, 1945
The 1st Battalion, after having been attached to CCB for many weary
days and miles, at last returned to the 310th Infantry Regiment. Tired
and deple_ted, it moved into a "last ditch" defensive position near
Kasbach, backing up the Regiment. Now the 310th had four battalions
its own three plus the 52nd Armored Infantry Battalion.
The 2nd Battalion pushed forward at 0645 in the face of heavy artillery
and mortar fire. Direct fire from infantry-supported; dug-in tanks <:md
air strafing made each gain across the rough and wooded ground
costly. Only by the most determined ancl relentless attack was the
advance possible. But the enemy was just as determined and resisted
fiercely.
By late afternoon, the battalion had reached a point several hundred
yards northwest· of Kretzhaus. Here a resolute counterattack by four
tanks and a company of infantry penetrated Company F's position.
Companies F and G drove off the
enemy offensive, but withdrew
slightly to a more favorable defen-
sive position.
The 3rd Battalion continued to im-
prove its defensive position under
intermittent artillery fire.
The 52nd Armored Infantry Bat-
talion, in Regimental Reserve, form-
ulated plans for an attack at 0500 the
next morning. It closed into a for-
ward assembly area at 2030.
The 1st Battalion, without a chance
for the expected rest, was taken
again to meet a changing situation
to the north.

MARCH 13, 1945

The 1st Battalion, as a part of the 311 th Regiment, attacked east of
Honnef against heavy enemy resistance.
The 2nd and 3rd Battalion continued to occupy and improve their
defensive positions. Company L became Regimental Reserve.
The 52nd Armored Infantry Battalion attacked toward Weldengoven at
0600. Supported by a platoon of tanks and a platoon of tank destroyers,
the battalion fought through heavy resistance from dug-in tanks, artil-
lery and mortar fire, to reach the objectives. At 1800, two additional
platoons of tanks were attached to the battalion. Resistance was so
stubborn that with the close of the day, the objectives were not yet
· completely secured.
During this period air activity was intense. We read of thousand plane
raids over Germany by our Air Corps, but raids may not directly sup-
port the active battle fronts. Hundreds of sorties were flown by German
pilots in an effort to knock out the Ludendorff Bridge. The weather was
bad, but the German pilots were in the air. Our anti-aircraft fire was
intense, dramatic and effective. Some Jerries were knocked down, but
unfortunately the jet propelled Jerries were spared for further bombing
attempts at the bridge.
MARCH 14, 1945
The 1st Battalion continued to advance northward along the Rhine and,
as part of the 311 th Regiment, secured Nieder-Dollendorf.
The 2nd Battalion, pretty badly shaken by the events of the past few
days, became Division Reserve and moved to an assembly area at the
southern tip of Honnef.
The 3rd Battalion extended the defensive line by having Company K
take over the vacated 2nd Battalion position. Patrols were sent out to
r-econnoiter the area to the north. Company M, assisted the 39th In-
fantry Regiment of the 9th Infantry ·Division by harrassing fire.
At 0400 "Collar" made another effort to secure Honnef and Welder-
goven. It encountered very heavy resistance and at 1600 an enemy
counterattack penetrated the zone. Though some enemy infiltrated
through the battalion lines, the position was held. Patrols were sent out
to search the area.
The next day was to be highly significant for the 3rd Battalion, as well
as for the entire bridgehead. The "thin spot" was to be welded shut.

MARCH 15, 1945

The 1st Battalion still attached to the 311 th Regiment-consolidated its
companies in Nieder-Dollendorf, while the 2nd Battalion moved into the
woods south of Honnef as Division Reserve. Again the 310th Infantry
was fighting with only its reinforced 3rd Battalion, and a somewhat
wilted "Collar".

103
 Kalenborn Junction was just a little railroad station and a ·few houses.
But, it controlled eight roads and a railway line. It was the last enemy
strongpoint that could be considered a threat to the Remagen Bridge.
Four times, friendly forces had attacked it and it was still in German
hands.
Companies I and L moved into Kretzhaus under heavy fire and from
there jumped off, unsupported at 0600. The 2nd Platoon of Company I,
led by Lt. Herman J. Carlson, crossed the railway at daylight, and
entered the woods . immediately southeast of the southern junction. 1n
the woods, they discovered four enemy tanks suppo~ted by infantry.
Dropping in the woods were mortar and artillery shells. But the rifle-
men got close to the tanks, so close the tanks couldn't fire on them.
Close enough so that two men were injured by muzzle blasts from the
tanks' guns. They stuck there until the enemy infantry , were driven
back. Then the rifle support backed up so that bazookamen could fire
at the tanks, which, although only slightly damaged, withdrew. The
platoon then cleared the houses along the west side of the road, captur-
ing 25 and killing 10 enemy. The 1st and 3rd Platoons converged on
the southern road junction and, supported by a platoon of tanks, cleared
the railroad station and the dozen houses opposite it. Company L, mean-
while, dug in under heavy shelling on either side of the road below
Kretzhaus and at 0830 cleared the portion of the woods northeast of the
southern road junction.
During the afternoon of this action, the dreaded message, "Punt, pass,
pray" reached the Regimental CP from the 3rd Battalion. This was the

Expanding the bridgehead

prearranged code message meaning that a commander had become a
casualty. Lt. Col. Lutz had been wounded while on one of his aggressive
re~onnaissances by a shell fragment from a "screeming meemie" (Nebel-
werfer, a multi-barreled rocket launcher). Before being evacuated how-
ever, Lt. Col. Lutz assured himself that the situation was well in hand.
The Battalion was turned over to the senior officer present, Captain
Olsen, the dauntless leader of Company I.
Company T, with Company C of the 52nd Armored Infantry Battalion
attached, attacked at 1430 and secured the remainder of Kalenborn
Junction at a cost of 12 casualties. The capture of this road junction
and the high ground overlooking Kalenborn knocked out the last enemy
position with good observation on the Remagen Bridge, and cracked
the enemy's last determined stand in that sector.
The intensity of resistance is well borne out by the dug-in ta.nks and
their personnel carriers knocked out.
"Collar" relieved Company K and, together with the 3rd Battalion, con-
solidated positions, established road blocks, improved defensive positions
and made contact with units on the right and left.
By March 16th, the bridgehead was no longer a fledgling. Enemy artil-
lery could no longer reach the pontoon bridges. The Ludendorff Bridge
itself had already outlived its usefulness and collapsed with 200 Engineers
aboard. Armored vehicles jammed the picturesque streets of the river
bank villages, waiting for the signal to break out of the bridgehead. This
didn't mean that the infantry could rest. But some of the pressure and
tension was lifted.
The initial Bridgehead had been established by elements of the 9th
Armored, 78th and 9th Infantry Divisions, Major General Craig of the
~th Infantry Division in command. By now, several other divisions were
across including the 1st and 99th. At this point, General Parker gathered
his ''Lightning" units together to complete the expansion to the north.
The 1st Battalion was battling again just east of Ittenbach, near Lange-
hof. Both the 1st Battalion and Company G of the 2nd Battalion were
attached to the 311 th Infantry on this day. Despite the 1st Battalion's
depleted condition, they drove to the autobahn against much enemy fire.
A volunteer platoon of first-class Negro troops had joined Company A
two days previously, and were seeing their first engagement. Under the
immechate command of Technical Sergeant John A. Staggers, the Negro
troops carried the fight to the Germar;s with unusual ferocity and valor.
We were proud of them.
The 2nd Battalion continued in Division Reserve, the 3rd Battalion
positions at Kalenborn Junction were taken by the 60th Armored Infantry
Battalion at 1000 and the tired 3rd Battalion men moved to a assembly
area northeast of Honnef. The 52nd Armored Jnfantry Battalion was
detached from the · 310th Infantry during the day. Regimental Head-
quarters installed a CP in Honnef, and hoped soon to be back to "T/0".
From this point on, the Regiment fought together as a reinforced regiment.

On the 17th, the 1st Battalion was detached from the 311 th Infantry and
became 310th Infantry Regimental Reserve. Company G reverted to 310th
control and the 2nd Battalion moved to an assembly area northeast of
Ittenbach, and completed the relief of the 60th Armored Infantry Bat-
talion at 2200. The 3rd Battalion under Major Pierce, its former Executive
Officer, improved its defensive positions, while plans for the next day's
operations were being prepared.
The rough, mountainous terrain northeast of Ittenbach was suitable for
fantastic castles, Valkyrie Legends, and mountain goats, but for little
else. Nestled ln these hills were the 2nd and 3rd Battalion objectives for
March 18-the towns of Heister Bacherott, Bennert and Harperath.
The battalions jumped off simultaneously just before dawn. Sometimes
along forest lined paths, sometimes cross country, stopping occasionally
to eliminate an enemy machine gun nest or troublesome snipers, they
advanced steadily. By noon, the 2nd Battalion had assaulted Bennert and
Harperath.
Company K of the 3rd Battalion had a hell of a time taking Heister
Bacherott. Just outside of town a strong enemy force attacked from the
rear. Company K mortar men, too close for mortar work, pitched in wifh
pistols and carbines. Heavy machine gun men of Company M traversed
their guns and fired fast. At the end of a half hour the attack was broken.
Thirty five Germans were dead and 10 were prisoners.
Then Company K men dashed across 200 yards of open ground into
Heister Bacherott, which they cleared under heavy artillery fire. More

Supplies come up
than 100 Germans were pulled out of the houses and cellars of the town.
During this action, the entire command group of Company L, except the
Company Commander himself, was led into a trap by a confused guide
from another unit; and was captured.
On the 19th, the 1st Battalion passed through the 2nd and secured high
ground north of Bennert and Harperath. The 2nd Battalion moved into
an assembly area as Regimental Reserve, and Company K cleared
Bacherott. 108 Germans were anxious to surrender.
The following day, the 1st Battalion, under Major Steagle, moved to
Ober-Dollendorf and then to a forward assembly area, while the 2nd and
3rd Battalions assembled in the town and were billeted for the night.
Just before dawn on March 21, Companies Band C attacked Hangelar.
Captain Hope was hard to hold that morning. Company C cleared the
lightly defended town, and Company B. with a platoon of tanks, captured
Menden. Company A secured the airfield northwest of Hangelar. Com-
panies F and G attacked at dawn and captured Neiderpleis and Mission
House, respectively. Company G then pushed on to secure Siegburg-
Mulldorf. The only sizeable resistance received was an artillery barrage
which hit the 1st Battalion positions during the afternoon.
After the Ludendorff Bridge groaned and fell , the protective measures for
the newly erected pontoon bridges across the Rhine were impressive.
Chemical Warfare smoke generators kept the entire area perpetually in
a cloud. At night, great searchlights played on the river in watch for
(;erman demolition parties. Periodic underwater explosions were set off
to kill any German sabotage swimmers .
With the reaching of the Sieg River, the Remagen Bridgehead battle was
declared at an end-at least so far as the 310th Regiment was concerned.
The men had been promised a rest at the Sieg. Everyone was worn out.
Ever since the Roer River crossing, there had been little rest for anyone.
A war is one thing, but human endurance is another.
So the Regiment was .given a rest, that is, in a way one might consider
it a rest. There wasn't much movement required but there was an im-
portant mission assigned.
The mission called for the Regiment to dig in and defend the Sieg River
from the Autobahn to the Rhine. The Jerries to the north were considered
capable of attacking south towards the · pontoon b.ridge sites around
Koenigswinter. It was thought that an enemy drive due south along the
Rhine to the bridge would be a worthwhile gamble. Even for a depleted
force, it wouldn't have been a bad idea. A relatively short thrust wo:uld
have captured four pontoon bridge sites in a few hours' time. So the men
of the 310th Regiment were placed along the Sieg and told to hold tight.
Holding tight in mild weather isn't necessarily so hard a thing to do. It
was looked upon as a heavenly rest. From March 22 to April 5, this
position was held. A few things happened. Patrols had to be put across
the Sieg River, for enemy information was required. The Regimental
Intelligence Platoon did some good work in this connection-often the

108

•
Prisoners file oul of th e new Bridgehead

rifle companies would send out the night snoopers. All movement had to
be concealed for the enemy was looking down our throats from vantage
points around Siegburg across the small river.
All along the bridgehead, activity was feverish now. The first semi-per-
manent bridge, a floating treadway 1,176 feet long, was finished on the
17th. Two more similar bridges quickly followed. The bridgehead had
been successfully pushed and expanded. The work horses in the ex-
pansion job had been the 78th, 9th, 99th, 1st Infantry Divisions. Numerous
.armored attachments to these divisions had certainly done their part.
With the bridgehead over 15 kilometers deep to the east, stupendous
things were about to happen. There was now room for several Corps to
wind up and swing a mailed fist eastward- -just that was to be done,
and how!
On March 23, the 104th Infantry Division joined the 1st Division in the
attack east towards further expansion, while the 78th Division continued
to secure the north flank along the Sieg River.

109
 On March 25, the First Army launched its attack to burst out of the
bridgehead. Three great Corps, the VII, the III, and the V, all lunged
eastward in a driv~. that was to carry them to the Elbe River.
By March 26, the 3rd Armored Division had passed through the 1st and
104th Infantry Divisions in four columns, closely followed by the sup-
porting infantry. Despite bitter resistance at first, good progress was
made. The Germans rushed in at least eight infantry divisions and much
armor into the battle in an effort to halt the eastward expansion.
The mammoth attack rolled mercilessly onward despite bitter resistance.
The drive succeeded in reaching Marburg by March 28. From Marburg,
the great offensive turned northward. The Germans were bewildered. In
a single day, the attack then carried north to Paderborn-a manoeuver
which completely encircled the industrial Ruhr.
The 310th Regiment, on the banks of the lower Sieg, was sitting this one
out, and liking it! Vl/e had made such drives possible, weeks ahead of
schedule, near a place called Remagen.

CHAPTER NINE
THE RUHR POCKET

When would this war end? Everyone asked the salfle question. It was
inconceivable that the German would continue the one-sided fight.
American and British forces had by now all but swamped the confused,
retreating mass of grey. Only small units of dazed resistance remained
here and there. The British were knocking at the gates of Hamburg. The
Ninth Army was at Hanover, the First almost to Magdeburg and the
Third Army was beyond Kassel. The Seventh Army was on the outs-
kirts of Stuttgart. It seemed not like an attack but like a wild pursuit of
unbelievable rapidity.
The greatest of all areas of surrounded but uncaptured Germans was the
extensive "Ruhr Pocket". By April 1st, the Ninth Army, driving around
the north side, had established contact with the First Army, which was
coming up from the south, at a place called Lippstadt, just west of
Paderborn.
The encirclement of the Ruhr Pocket area, which contained much of the
war making potential of Germany, was a deadly body blow to the Ger-
mans. In addition, all of Field Marshal Walter Modi's Army Group B,
numbering over 300,000 troops, was surrounded and cut off from the
remaining German forces. "The greatest double envelopement in
history."
The Germans, disorganized and disheartened, were particularly low in
gasoline, ammunition, and communication facilities. Although the total
forces of uniformed men in the pocket was well over 300,000, not all
these troops were actually experienced combat soldier, The force
had considerable equipment such as self-propelled guns and tanks.
The bulk of the opposition, however, was made up of service troops,
laborers, anti-aircraft men, and the ridiculously pitiful Volkssturm. They
were capable only of delaying actions in which, at some points, they
were very successful indeed!
The organization of the Volkssturm was one ofHitler ·s greatest atrocities
against his own people. Just imagine-old men and boys with no
training, no stamina, being handed a rifle and told to help stop the
greatest force of infantry, artillery and armor in history.
As far as the men of the 310th Infantry were concerned, the Ruhr Pocket
was a great unknown quantity. To them, it seemed that anything could
happen where 300,000 German soldiers were concentrated.

 The Regiment was relieved at the western end of the Sieg River by the
303rd Regiment of the 97th Division, and by April 5th had moved east
along the Sieg River to the vicinity of Betzdorf, not far from the larger
town of Siegen. Here the 310th relieved the 28th Regiment of the 8th
Division in a defensive position just north of the Sieg River banks. The
Germans also had a defensive line facing thfs regiment, but appeared to
lack important artillery support.
The three battalion commanders, Major Robinson back with the 1st Bat-
talion, Major Hardenburgh of the 2nd Battalion, and Major Pierce of the
3.rd Battalion. were assigned their zones of advance for the coming
squeeze play, and the drive was on. The 309th and the 310th Infantry
would attack abreast. The regimental formation was specified by 78th
Division because of the fantastically wide frontage assigned. Our three
battalions would advance abreast, with the 3rd Battalion, 311th Infantry,
under Lt. Col. Andy Lipscomb, as 310th Regimental Reserve.
This drive was not to be any spectacle of massed, overwhelming power
0 • •

speeding down one of Hitler's super-highways. Quite the contrary, this

was to be a fight in an area of rough and hilly terrain, with few good
roads and few large towns. The battalions would have tremendously
wide sectors to cover i their advance. This meant our forces would be
widely spread precariously thin at times.-
Isolated companies were to find themselves advancing along dim trails ;
with little communication with supporting arms or higher headquarters.
Tactically, it was an unhealthy situation. An infantry battalion isn't orga-
nized or equipped to fight a determined enemy on such enormous fronts
as the situation required. Our communication and supply facilities were
not designed for it.
The advance for the three battalions got under way on the morning of
April 6th. Tension among the troops was considerable. Yes, the men
couldn't forget that there were 300,000 armed Germans in this pocket
somewhere.
Throughout the action, the Regimental Commander, was everywhere in
his efforts to coordinate and control the unequal advances of the three
battalions. Indeed, it would have been. easy for one battalion to become
isolated and destroyed in a few hours' time.
The fight for the next nine days was a long series of little scenes each
often independent of the
.
other, somewhat like Ia number of photograph
shots from a ,movie that has not been glued together into one dramatic
whole.
For nine days, it was mile after mile over the wooded hills, through the
open valleys, through little German villages, sometimes untouched by
the war; mile after mile past stretches of smoking Wehrmacht equipment,
and past crafty road blocks and blown bridges, past the familiar signs of
battle, of scattered helmits, of smashed weapons, of burning village, and
of Volkssturm dead.

 Here and there, along the weary road, some frantic German commanders
would demand a stand by his bewildered and ill-prepared troops. A short
skirmish would result, lasting an hour, two hours, or half a day at the
most. The final result was always the same, many Germans would die
-some of our men would die-the big squeeze continued relentlessly.
Great hordes of prisoners streamed down the roads, guarded or un-
guarded, it didn't matter. Everywhere were the masses of newly liberated
slave laborers. Great crowds of Poles, Russians , Italians, and French-
sometimes already looting their recent masters. The exhileration of
J their scenes of liberation was thrilling. The 310th doughboys would have
burst with pride at being a part of this historical happening had they not
been so hollow with fatigue. Each doughboy, however, seemed to take
enough time out from the action to acquire a few souvenirs and other
"liberated" objects for himself.
Each battalion had the aid and support of certain armored units for the
drive. Usually, one platoon of medium and one platoon of light tanks
from the 774th Tank Battalion, and a platoon of M-10 tank destroyers
from Company B, 893rd Tank Destroyer Battalion were assigned to each
battalion. The armor was a terrific morale factor among the men. In
addition, various support units, such as self-propelled artillery, and 4.2
chemical mortars were attached or supporting each battalion from time
to time. Company B of the 95th Chemical Battalion was with the 310th
in most of the battle. Battery B of the . 552nd AA Battalion was there too,
shooting its guns at anything German, in the absence of the Luftwaffe,
and as mobile as cavalry.
On the first day of the advance, April 6th, all battalions attacked simul-
F taneously. The 2nd Battalion lashed our rapidly from Katzwinkel, at a
considerable loss in American casualties, but the Germans were com-
pletely overwhelmed. The 2nd Battalion had only a few withdrawing self-
propelled guns to worry about during the remainder of the day.
The leading rifle company for that, Co. G, under the command of Capt.
William Smith, did a good job. This company, along with several other
companies of the Regiment, developed a technique of advancing that
seemed to terrorize the enemy into surrendering. The main idea was
to make a lot of noise. Enroute to the objective, usually a small town,
a thundering barrage by the 903rd Field Artillery and the supporting
mortars and armored artillery would suggest to the Germans that im·
portant things were about to happen to them. At close range the wild
spraying by 50 cal. machine guns of tanks, T.D.'s and AA half-tracks, and
infantry small arms fire would usually clinch the deal. The Germ~~s
were duly impressed. Out of the woods and out of the houses would
come trembling ex-supermer. For those who were afraid to surrender a
special device was available. A loud s~eaker mounted on a light tank
would announce in loud German the details of our particular war aims
at the moment. As a rule, most of the Germans were strictly on the look
for an excuse to quit; some, of course, had other ideas. One could never
be sure which was which .

History 8' 115

 /

In the initial attack, the 3rd Battalion was to move almost directly west
at first to cover its wide battalion zone. Captain Barzelay's Co. L secured
the ground above Wissen, where the engineers were playing "London
Bridge" across the Sieg River. They then cut north to rejoin the bat-
talion after a good day's work. The first day saw the unfortunate death
of Capt. Bonner of Co. I, one of the outstanding officers of the Regiment.
The 1st Battalion ran into the most trouble. The positions they took
over from the 28th Infantry Regiment had never been completely secured.
Before the attack had even started it appeared that Co . B had been cut off
by infiltrating or bypassed Germans. The attached tanks were unable to

Always a snip er

116
 operate on the route of advance selected by the Infantry. After several
delays, Company A was sent on a wide end play and the other com-
panies pushed n01:th.
April 7th saw the 3rd Battalion burst forward with sweeping advances to
the vicinity of Wittershagen and Alzen. Company I ran into a determined
enemy counter-attack in this area and sustained unexpected casualties.
It was in this fight that a group of men including an observer with radio
from the 4.2 Chemical Company was cut off. These men were surrounded
by Germa.ns and never captured. The Germans could not account for the
accurate mortar fire which they were receiving.
The 1st Battalion advanced slowly along the east side of the regimental
sector and cleared Nieder-Fischbach and Niederdorf after a considerable
fight .on the approaches to the two villages. On a wide sweep cross
country, Company A became lost in the woods and was fired on by our
own guns. In this action, Captain Durham became a casualty and Lt.
Nolan took over. The following day, Major Robinson was evacuated and
Lt. Col. Bell, Regimental Executive Officer, assumed command of the 1st
B<;tttalion. In both cases, the 1st and 3rd Battalion had found savage
resistance. It was hard to believe. These particular Germans were still
unconvinced as to the folly of prolonging th,is war.
By the third day, the two Regiments were over extended on the Division
front. General Parker wisely changed the formation to three regiments
abreast, 309th on the left, 310th on the right, 311th to take over the center
zone. This narrowed the 310th zone somewhat, and enabled us to fight
two battalions abreast, one in reserve. A sound tactical principle which
enabled us to throw in a relatively fresh battalion where the going was
good, and pick up a tired battalion in motorized reserve.
At this time excitement was running high as to who would capture
General Modl and who would bear the brunt of a concerted German
effort to break out of the pocket. Our Air Corps reported concentrations
r
of armor at Olpe on our right flank and it seemed for one night as though
the 310th would take the rap. With all possible haste the units went from
rapid pursuit into an all-out defensive position. Captain Hope's B Com-
pany, at the danger point, was ordered to "hold at all cost" while all
available anti-tank forces were rushed to back him up. The following
morning found the 310th still "holding" and 78th Division Headquarters
asking why we weren't advancing faster. It seems the enemy threat had
dissipated itself in another direction, but information hadn't reached the
omit tense 310th.
So off again in pursuit we went, trying to keep pace with the wild riding
8th Division on our right flank. The entire action in the "Pocket"
resembled beaters going though a forest flushing out .game, and bagging
it at the same time. If all units (the beaters) stayed abreast of each other
the pressure was equal and the area was thoroughly combed. However,
if one unit dropped behind, the hunted (88's and krauts) were flushed into

117
I
its path by the leading elements on each flank. Thus a laggard battalion
or regiment would be meeting increasing resistance and never be able
to catch up.
Obviously, the answer was to get in the lead and stay there. This the
Regimental Commander decided to do. The big danger in being ahead
was one's exposed flanks where mobile German units, being flushed out
by the units to our right and left rear, could slip in behind our assault
elements and break up our lines of communication and supply. To
preclude this possibility, a "protected corridor", already planned, was
use~. It was established on the 310th right flank by the right battalion
and on the 310th left flank by the left battalion. As these battalions
passed potentially dangerous approaches into our zone, they dropped off
reinforced AT gun crews which s~t up defended road blocks. Lt. Carl-
son's Regimental Anti-Tank Company, coming along behind as rapidly
as possible, would relieve the battalion guns for a similar mission further
ahead, and take over the security with its own guns, or with the AA
battery's Bofors. Then, as friendly units caught up on the right and left,
these guns could leapfrog forward and do it all over again. This "pro-
tected corridor", as employed by Colonel Merritt E. Olmstead on Ten-
nessee Manoeuvers, proved its worth in combat. Here our AT guns
knocked out, and were knocked out by German tanks and Self-propelled
88s. Our rapidly advancing riflemen had secure flanks and the chow and
ammunition reached them.
Delayed by the false-alarm counterattack, the 310th now had to get
ahead or take a beating. From the sketch you will see that our zone had

 curved, giving us the long outside track on the turn. Now, · on the
straight away, we must take the lead.
On April 10, Major Pierce's slightly rested 3rd Battalion and attached
armor was committed in the right (east) half of the regimental zone and
told to go as far and catch as many Germans as possible. The 2nd Bat-
talion was given the 78th Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop and sent up the
left (west) half with Lt. Jones and Company F on tanks leading the way.
The 1st Battalion was assembled as the reserve and was motorized. We
. now had the speed and were ready to take advantage of the breaks . .
Before dark that night, Lt. Col. Bell's "Diploma Red" was rushed forward
to assault and capture Eckenhagen. The following morning, they con-
tinued forward until they. reached the high ground overlooking Bergneu-
stadt and beheld a beautiful sight. The roads leading out of the far side
of the city were jammed with retreating German soldiers and equipment.
It was a field day for the artillery and Cannon Company FO's.

It was in Bergneustadt also that astonished front line doughboys turned

to see two Major Generals looking over their shoulders. General Matthew
Ridghay, our XVIII Airborne Corps Commander and General Parker, the
"Lightning" Commander were in town. Here were German generals too,
who looked good in our PW cage.
The 310th was doing all right, and was now even with the 311 th on its
left and the 8th Division's 28th and 121st Regiments which alternated on
, its right. With another unfavorable bend to the left in our zone coming
up ("outside track") we had to take the lead now or lose our chance.
Before the city had been cleared of resistance by the 1st Battalion, the
2nd Battalion, with 78th Reconnaissance Troop, roared through on its
way to secure a dam which threatened us, and the high ground beyond it.
The plan was simple, but good. If the 2nd Battalion could clear out the
route west of the lake, the 1st Battalion could be sneaked through that
way in darkness and come out north of the lake. The 1st Battalion would
then be in rear of the enemy which faced the dogtired 3rd Battalion.
The 2nd Battalion had to fight all night to do it, with many a "needle"
from the worried regimental staff, but by daylight it was done! On April
12, the 310th, with the 1st and 2nd Battalions abreast, was leading the
league, and continued to do so to the End. The 3rd Battalion continued
on in its zone behind the 1st Bn. to scoop up a bewildered and surrounded
enemy, and by noon was assembled in Regimental motorized reserve,
tired but ready to go again. We caught 1200 prisoners in that day's
operation alone.

April 12, which started so well, was indeed 'q uite a day. The troops
moved many weary miles. Remember, this was infantry advancing on
foot, except for those few who could climb aboard a tank. Only the
rese:r:ve could be motorized and that by robbing Service Company and
our ever cooperative 903rd Field Artillery.

120
 Officially, the 1st Battalion took WUipperfurth. Actually however, it was
entered first several hours earlier by a small "task force". Lt. Col. Hayes
and his body guard from the I & R Platoon were looking for a by-pass
around some demolitions. They reached a German road block, removed
it, and found themselves on the "objective". By suppertime, all three
battalions were in or aruond the large town of Wupperfurth, which
looked mighty good for dry billets. But it was not to be. Higher head-
quarters ordered that the next town of Huckswagen be taken before
daylight the 14th. Fortunately, plans had been made, and distributed
already to accomplish this the following day. Now it only remained to do
it at once, and in the dark.
The 2nd Battalion on the left got off to an amazingly fast start, using
every possible type of transportation. Capt. Baden's rejuvenated E
Company in the lead. Their battle cry was "Hot chow in the ne~t town".
The 3rd Battalion was rolling shortly after dark with Lt. Barzelay riding
alread tank and smoking a big cigar. It was a rough operation for tired
officers and men. Capt. Owens, one of the few remaining original com-
pany commanders, was evacuated that night, but fortunately returned to

121
 /,

us later. By 0100 on the 14th the 3rd Battalion was able to report "Ob-
jective taken" and receive a- "Well done" from the Division Commander.
At the end of a week of rapid fighting, a slow but steady attrition was
resulting in a sizeable casualty list for the 310th Infantry.
On the morning of April 15th the 1st and 2nd Battalion were poised
outside of the lar'ge industrial city of Lennep. As the troops entered the
town resistance was replaced by white flags. Surrender was the order
of the day. The Ruhr Pocket campaign was almost over.
The last action was an interesting one. The 1st and 2nd Battalion
advanced towards Wuppertal along roughly parallel but widely separated
roads. The 2nd Battalion was motorized in Regimental Reserve for the
kill. The big question was which, if either; of the two bridges across the
Wupper River were still standing. We could not get this information from
the Air Corps. The 3rd Battalion reached the Wupper River first and
found their bridge, the east one, blown. Like good doughboys they crossed
anyway without their vehicles , and turned west to try to seize the bridge
in front of the 1st Battalion. The men of Co. B, 303rd Engineers fixed a
ford and the 2nd crossed without delay and moved into Schwelm. I Com-
pany secured the other bridge for the 1st Battalion which was having
hard going. From the west bridge the Regimental Commander voice-
radioed the 1st Battalion, telling th~m to "Come on in". He was on their
objective!
By nightfall of the 15th all three Battalions had crossed the Wupper
River and had entered the metropolitan area of Wuppertal. From a
distance and from close up Wuppertal couid be seen as a vast area of
almost complete destruction. The Air Corps had been a frequent visitor
to this place.
The next day the Regiment occupied the eastern third ot Wuppertal,
which had surrendered without a fight. The 310th welcomed the other
~
Regiments as they pushed into Wuppertal. It was the last long race and
"Diploma" had broken the tape.
Moving into Wuppertal was indeed a rest and a pleasure for the tired
doughboys of the 310th Infantry. After all, nine days of marching and
shooting is a long time . In Wuppertal there seemed to be plenty of wine
too, and best of. all there were exciting rumors aqout the end of the war.
It was known that great forces of Germ~ns in the pocket were surrender-
ing in mass. The pocket was KAPUT!
The 50 mile advance in the face of the enemy had been a wearisome
journey indeed. Some of the men were practically walking in their sleep.
But the operation had gone extremely well. Everyone was well satisfied.
For one thing communications, control and coordination were excellent
considering the over extended front. This is always a first priority from
a tactical standpoint. Another thing, the men had eaten regularly, a
luxury seldom maintained during the pa5..t through a fast moving situation
such as this one. It was hot chow too, more than half the time.

And most impressive of all, the casualties were light and the gains were
enormous. The prisoners for this Regiment in nine days numbered over
16,000. There's every reason to say that the 310th was a smoothly and
efficiently operating machine from every standpoint when the war ended.
At this point two familiar figures changed places. Lt. Col. Harry Lutz,
our second in command, returned from the hospital where he had
1ecovered from his leg wound received near Kalenborn. Lt. Col. Hayes,
the Regimental Commander, left for the hospital for an operation on a
leg injury. The Regimental Commander had been hobbling along on his
cane during four months of combat. N~w was the time to get it fixed.
Lt. Col. Lutz commanded the Regiment until the return of the Colonel,
now full Colonel, Hayes.
The dominant question was still unanswered. "When will it all end?"
Were more. men yet to die asking that same question? For the men of
the 310th the Ruhr Pocket was to be the last battle even though no one
realized it at the time. It was the end of 120 days of continuous gory
battle. By now Germany had been split into two more great pockets,
north Germany and south Germany.

CHAPTER TEN
"MY KINGDOM FOR A PASS" OR
"I STARTED OUT WITH A FIST FULL OF DOUGH"

Its primarily an old army institution, and if you were to ask any GI,
he'd say its the only one with any sense to it. Funny to hear any dough-
boy say there ought to be more of something in the army and not think
of chow. Its true enough, and with real justification.
You'll never forget the first week or so of quarantine, when only the old
timers or cadre shined their shoes with a little extra vigor and worried if
their pants were pressed. You'd see them rush to the orderly room and
dash out waving a small piece of paper, yelling as they raced down the
street "C'mon, Jeez, you wanna miss the bus!"
That generally was the first seed that was to flower into an irresistible
urge. And then, the next few weeks you'd be sweating out the pass list
and wondering when the top kick would get around to realizing you also
lived or wanted to live on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. After all,
you can't shoot dice in the barracks all the time! Finally it came your
turn and you'd ask every guy in the platoon if your tie was knotted
okay, if your cap was just a finger over the right eye, and if they really
asked you the general orders before they gave you that pass . . Then
you'd be eagerly eyeing the old man and wondering why it took him so
long to sign that little slip, meanwhile swearing at the bus line that grew
longer by the minute. finally, it would be yours and you and your
buddies would be off.
Maybe it'd be a jerkwater town, with only a handful of people and with
ten times that many Joes. But there'd be beer, a hangout your company
generally called its own, a hamburger; or even a steak, a town movie,
the roller skating rink, the USO, or if you were lucky, a shapely ankle
and an upturned nose.
You might even remember how you'd line the town's main street at five
yard intervals, wait for the brass to come along and see if you couldn't
wear out their right arm. Maybe there was nothing better to do. Yeah,
you'd come back and even lie a little to get the other guys all hepped
up and then wait for your next pass.
Furloughs worked the same way, only there you knew you were headed
home. The old timers will still tell you the 78th was a helluva good out-
fit when it came to furloughs.
You kissed Broadway and Dempsey's Corner goodby, you got on that
gangplank and you began to wonder when you'd be free again. Or if

125
9ZI
 you couldn't be completely free, when and where you'd have your next
chance to let off steam, and see things too.
Well, the outfit hit that beautiful summer resort, Bournemouth, England,
and it was blea.k. You made friends and you learned that London was
only 90 miles away. Oh, to see London! And as if in answer to a
prayer, the 78th came across again. Passes to the big city, even during
those days when training took on a more respectable appearance. Train
facilities were bad, quotas were limited, but a good number of us did
manage a lasting impression of the bombed out center, the over-
abundance of uniforms and Picadilly Circus. ~/ou · ve heard of Picadilly
commandoes, haven't you? Boy, what tactics. The tales that were told
laid the foundations for anticipation of what more can Paris offer and
could it be more expensive. Too bad our schedule was moved up. Our
departure put an abrupt end to a full visit by everyone.
It was a good sign though, a straw in the wind. We would get away
wherever and whenever possible.
Proof of that wasn't long in coming. Billeted as we were in the hay lofts
of Belgium, getting acclimated to the ooze of mud, those 2Yz ton trucks
suddenly were filled with Gis and their weapons for a three mile trip. It
wasn't much but it was ice cream in Tongeren, not the ice cream that
Horton made famous, but it was frozen and you ate it with a spoon. To
hell with the buzz bombs roa:dng overhead. Besides, the motors always
kept running, carrying the buzz bombs westward. One day, one motor
did stop, and-what a scramble!
The front lines were only 20miles aw~y, but Maastricht, Holland was ten.
How about it? Sure! So on Saturday afternoon and every afternoon for
the following week the trucks made their way there. Remember how you
had to carry your loaded weapon, a canteen of water, and, if you were
smart, a K ration or at least a "D" bar. The blown bridges, the winding
streets, the movie with English titles, the blacked out streets, the amaz-
ing number of Dutch people that had a basic knowledge of English, all
are indelibly impressed in our minds. Maybe you even eagerly sought
the companionship of a GI with a different patch and listened to him tell
you he'd just come from the front a couple of hours ago. He talked like
a big shot, and you listened with all ears. Maybe you only went there to
take a shower. You went, though, and forgot the mud, even if it was
for just a couple of hours. Many a pair of wooden sohes now decorating
your mantlepieces will remind you.
We moved on and .got into the serious business of war. Stars and Stripes
was feeding .us the stuff that goes to describe Paris and we digested it
· well. Boy, our time will come and indeed it did.
Paris, ah Paris! When it comes to Paris, you encounter a certain way of
life not easily forgotten. It's the kind of life that affords one a tremen-
dous time; that is, it does if you have a great pile of money and extra
superior physical stamina.
Now, when you go to Paris, you don't absolutely have to be a fool to
get along, but it generally helps. The first requirement, of course, is to

127
,
 ditch that German lingo of "Kommen Sie her, Fraulein". That kraut stuff
just doesn't go over so hot. The best thing to do is learn French and
quickly. Enlist in the merci beaucoup school. Comment allez vous? Oui
compre! It isn't difficult, not the way we do it.
If that fails, there 's nothing but the international language left, you
know, signs and hands and stuff.
And say, those French ladies are something. There's all kinds. There's
big ones, little ones, fat ones, lean ones, but they're all flashy and they
all have a terrific monstrosity of a hat, pertly perched on their heads.
That head, incidentally, may carry gorgeous, flowing, or crazy stacks of
hair of red, black, blond, blue, orange, or rainbow color-they're all so
strictly strictly-how can we ever go back to the farm!
These ladies know the ropes too. And its hard to beat the inflation, don't
think it isn'.t. When champagne costs as much as $ 20 a bottle, you've
gotta know the ropes. The black market is a great equalizer though, i.e.,
it is if you've got anything to sell. But who would stoop so low, besides
its against the law, and we need our cigarettes for other purposes,
don't we?
The Foliers Bergere is a place everybody goes. The show is great, its
packed every night with people in soldier suits. The soldiers express
themselves in all kinds of ways. A lone Frenchman here and there is lost
in a teeming wave of hooting, howling, whistling characters. The show,
oh sure, its definitely refined. And its art, it is. What Mademoiselle
Zoro hasn't got, nobody needs, and its well distributed too! And long
will we reminisce smugly about the "girls of the follies' , to the scanda-
lizations of poor mothers and the dark suspicions of patient wives.
There is a place called Pigalle. It's dubbed Pig Alley by Americans. It's
in the ancient Montmartre sector, in the shadows of the beautifujl Sacre-
Coeur Cathedral. Pig Alley has beaucoup night life though, sporting the
infamous Bal Tabarin, home of the original can-can. Also, there's lots
of girls ambling around, not demanding any formal introduction of any
kind for socializing purposes.
In Paris, the camera bugs go utterly wild, you never saw anything like
it. In three days time, they find it somewhat difficult to photograph
everything in the world's center of ancient and modern western culture.
There, the Eiffel Tower, the Cathedral ofNotre Dame, the Les Invalides ,
the Louvre, the wonders of Versailles, and all wanting for the camera to
click. If it's action shots you want, do try the Champs Elysees, whit its
balloon-skirted bike-riding Mademoiselles! They'll swap you exposure
for exposure!
With us, as with our fathers in the last war, the phrases of "C'est la
guerre" explains any and all shortcomings of the city. But Paris is truly
a grand place to visit. Soldiers on leave from the war fronts consider it
heavenly.
In addition to Paris, there were other leave or rest centers, as they are
called'. There was Vervieres, Spa, Huy, Liege and Brussels in Belgium.
The boys always had a tremendous time in Brussels.

 The real vacation lands were the Riviera and Switzerland. The Riviera
consists mainly of four localities. There is aristocratic Cannes, with its
beautiful harbor and white sandy beach and its Promenade de la Croi-
sette. Then, there is ancient Antiber, conveniently located about midway
between Nice and Cannes. Its a gorgeous place. Grasse is another rest
area of great fame, best known for its perfuJ:?e. Lastly and best known
to the visiting Americans was Nice. The favorite "Spazieren" grounds
at Nice curve along the water front for four miles, affording an unforget-
table view of the sea and mountains.
Switzerland became the latest addition to the leave centers. Situated in
the lofty Alps, Switzerland is truly a tourist's dream.
A trip back to England has always been possible for a few fortunate and
deserving souls. Some men have enjoyed going back to Bournemouth,
indicating perhaps that some very worthwhile contacts were made there
last November during our brief stay. A few have gone to Scotland and
Wales . Still fewer have visited their ancestral home in Ireland. A United
Kingdom pass was good for a lengthy trip anywhere in Great Britain.
The army pass quotas have been anything but meager, considering the
magnitude of the task of setting up and maintaining the rest centers. By
V-E Day, better than 5,000 worthwhile passes had been given within the
regiment. Practically everyone h·ad one or more pleasant vacations some-
where. If something went wrong and you were slighted, there was
always the B-Bag and the Chaplain to unburden your grief upon.

CONCLUSION
ARMY OF OCCUPATION

And so the war in Europe ended. Wuppertal was the last objective for
the 310th Infantry in World War II. There were yet to be other journeys
and other missions in Germany, but no more fighting, no more deadly
attrition. It was a pleasant thought to look about you and know that your
present friends and acquaintances would be around for a while. It was
pleasant for one to realize th&t he was still here; that he had survived
the "turnover".
The collapse of organized resistance did not necessarily mean that all
troublesome Germans were out of the way. Many units, including the
310th Infantry, were soon given the mission of occupying and searching
out certain large areas for pockets of resistance and fanatical diehard
Nazi groups and individuals. Some of these people were "set in their
ways" and they constituted a source of danger to our communications
and supply efforts throughout Germany.
As time went on, various divisions and organizations were definitely
earmarked as "Army of Occupation", but during May and June most
units carried o,Ult occupation duties. The big thing at first was to restore
order among the civilians. DP's (Displaced Persons) were running wild.
The Germans were confused and panickly. It was necessary to make ex-
haustive search.e s for hidden weapons and ammunition. The towns and
villages were raided, houses and barns were combed, and all civilians
were carefully screened and identified. Many amusing incidents occurred.
The Germains were particularly adept at lying about each other. No
one had ever been a Nazi, of course.
Combat troops such as ourselves carried out the occupation activities
in conjunction with the American Military Government detachments.
Our main job was general security. The AMG was responsib.le for a
number of immediate and long range objectives.
As the Germans were soon to realize, one of the main objectives was
the complete denazification of German social life. This turned out to be
a complicated undertaking. Along with this, the AMG had the parti-
cularly difficult job of reestablishing the economic processes within the
local communities. Such things as the ration system, labor services,
public utilities, transportation, etc., had to be set into motion again with-
out the aid of Nazi personalities. At the same time, a speedy and com-
plete roundup of war criminals was imperative, and a general demilitari-.
zation of all German industry was required. There were other loftier aims

of the occupation" but the security troops had contact with only the acti-
vities that affected the ordinary German civilians in their day to day
struggle to dig themselves out of the wreckage of the war.
The Regiment's first occupation territory, beginning April 18, was a long
way from vVuppertal, and everyone agreed that Wuppertal was a swell
places to be a good long ways from. The bomb desolation was ghastly.
By motor, the 310th Infantry went south to the vicinity of a small village
called Dierdorf, near Coblenz. After about a week in this area, the
Regiment was ordered to move again, to the vicinity of Bad Wildungen,
and Wolfhagen, an area not far from Kassel.
Billeted in small villages throughout the Kassel area, the troops were
destined to play the role of conquerors and occupiers for quite a while.
Here, the Regiment found itself confronted with a dual mission. For one
thing, there was a considerable security mission, including many raids,
' I
road patrols, and guard duty. But in addition, there was an earnest
tactical training program in anticipation of the eventual employment of
the Regiment in Pacific War.
During this time, the army clarified the status of the 78th Division by
stating that it was to be included in the Category II grouping, scheduled
for redeployment to the Pacific. It was later learned that the shipping
date for the Division was rather distant and most men held the hope and
belief that the Regiment would never see the Pacific Theater. Indeed,
one war was enough for most of us.
The capitulc:J.tion of the Japanese came as a delightful surprise. "Now
maybe we can all go home" was the unanimous cry. At least V-J
Day brought less strenuous work-days. Weighty issues such as

132
"non-fraternization" took the spotlight. There was lots of baseball and
good competitive spirit in all sports. Many energetic souls tried to get
some book learning from the Army Education Program. Everyone learned
about the limitations of German rural life. And about this time the famous
"points system" of demobilization became "Topic A".
During July and August, men with sufficiently high point scores (based
on service, family and combat credits) began leaving the Regiment.
These men were transferred to organizations slated for departure to the
States, and in their places the Regiment receited low point men from
other units. This process continued throughout 1945 resulting in a 60%
change in personnel throughout the Regiment by November 1st.
In the meantime, the 78th Division was placed in the Category I classi-
fication (Occupation) and designated as the unit to replace the 82nd
Airborne Division at the focal point of Europe-BERLIN. The Regiment
accomplished the move and was set up for business in Berlin by November
16th. Life in the German Capital was found to have its advantages.
' The 310th Infantry took over the guard and security mission in the
central portion of the city where the U.S., British, and Russian Zones
joined. The districts of Schoneberg, Tempelhof, Kreuzberg and Neu-
kolln were our responsibility. Although the once beautiful city was in
partial ruins all the problems of a metropolis were there, multiplied by
cold, hunger and lawlessness. 850,000 civilians were tliere, subsisting
somehow.
The . guard posts included railroad stations, food and supply dumps,
public utilities, and military installations. Continuous patrols roamed the
streets in· armored cars, jeeps, and on foot. Alert squads, platoons and
companies stood by to move promptly by motor to the scene of any
disturbance or riot. Other duties were primarily ceremonial in nature as

The accent was on discipline and "spit and polish" for the 310th dough-
boys of whom many were new men. They to set the standard and compare
favorably in appearance and behaviour with their close neighbors the
selected troops of our victorious Allies. An educational , training, and
athletic program filled out the rest of the work day; "bankers hours"
0900-1200 and 1330-1600.
From the entertainment standpoint Berlin was indeed in contrast with
rustic hamlets of the Kassel area. Large and modern theaters were
popular and new movies, plays, concerts, and even operas available.
The great Olympic Stadium was nearby where the "Lightning Bolts"
hammered out a victory for third place in the Seventh Army football
league. Night clubs were every where and the best in town were
reserved for the exclusive use of the 310th G.I.'s, and their dates.
For the more quiet evening. platoon and company dayrooms, and ela-
borate Red Cross clubs were at hand. Berlin seemed a good place to end
ones tour of duty in the ETO.
On this note let us close the History of the 310th Infantry for World
\Var li. 1946 is upon us and finds our life not without incident, but with
the situation definitely under control.

GENERAl ORDERS) 12 October 1945
NUMBER 513)
UNIT CITATION
Under the provisiOns of Section IV, War Department Circular Number 333,
dated 22 December 1943, as amended, the First Battalion 310th Infantry Regiment,
is ·cited for outstanding performance of duty in action against the enemy during
the period from 2 March 1945 to 10 March 1945.
On 2 March 1945 and 3 March 1945 the battalion, attached to Combat Com-
mand B of the 9th Armored Division, crossed 2000 yards of flat terrain which
was raked by intense machine guri, artillery, mortar and 20 mm fire and defended
by a well deployed and entrenched enemy. I then fought across the waist-deep
Erft Canal and against stiff opposition secured the town of Weilerwist which
lay astride the Euskirc~en-Cologne railway. This forced the first gap in the
Erft Canal defense line, provided an eastward route for armor, facilitated the
capture of Euskirchen, and inflicted heavy material losses on the enemy in
addition to personnel casulties totalling 186. From 4 March through 7 March,
the troops, which had been without sleep for 72 hours in the Weilerwist attack
captured or assisted in the capture of 13 towns: Wuscheim, Luftelberg, Helzem,
Gross-Bullesheim, Klein-Bullesheim, Miel, Morenhaven, Flerzheim, Villip,
Gimmersdorf, Liesse.m, Ober-Bachem and Nieder-Bachem. On 8 March at 0400,
less than 12 horurs after the captJure of the Ludendorff Bridge, the battalion
crossed the Rhine and immediately attacked to the south, the first troops of an
Infantry Division to set foot on the bridgehead. After capturing an enemy
demolition patrol' within 150 yards of the bridge with suffici:ent explosives to
destroy the bridge and overcoming registance along the river bank, the battalion
secured Kasbach, Ockenfels and Linz. On the night of 8 March and during
9 March 1945 the widely deployed troops with less than 14 hours sleep in nine
days remained continuously al•ert for an anticipated large scale enemy counter-
attack. On 10 March, against fanatical resistance by SS Troops and paratroopers
and under unusually severe small arms and automatic weapons fire the battalion
captured Dattenberg and the high ground to the north. In Dattenberg, Germany
on 10 March 1945, 85 casualties were inflicted and 162 prisoners were taken as
well as valuable enemy equipment. The extraordinary heroism, endurance and
aggressiveness demonstrated by the First Battalion, 310th Infantry Regiment in
accomplishing difficult and important missions during this period are in keeping
with the highest military traditions.

UNIT CITATION
Under the provlSlons of Section IV, War Department Circular Number 333,
dated 22 December 1943, as amended, the Third Battalion, 310th Infantry Regiment,
is cited for outstanding performance of duty in action against the enemy during
. the period 1 March 1945 to 15 Match 1945.
The battalion, attached to Combat Command A of the 9th Armored Division,
crossed the Roer River in the early morning of 2 March 1945 and marched nine
miles to capture Langendorf and the strongly defended Wallersheim woods. The
following day it attacked and captured, against strong enemy resistance, the
towns of Merzenich, Sinzenich and Florin. On 4 March 1945, after a gruelling
five mile advance through deep mud under continual artillery and small arms
fire, the battalion captured Euskirchen, key road, rail, supply and communi-
cations center for the German forces west of the Rhine. By midnight advance
elements, two miles forward of friendly troops on the left and four miles for-
ward of friendly troops on the right, made possible the crossing of the Erft
Canal, east of the city, the following morning. On 5 March 1945, without having
had any rest, one company, against determined, skillful opposition, battled
across the Erft Canal and secured Roitzheim, south of Euskirchen, after a twelve-
hour battle. A route over which supporting armor could negotiate the Erft
Canal was secured, 165 prisoners captured and a number of the enemy killed.
On 7 March the battalion captured Bad Neuenahr, secured four bridges and
crossed the Ahr River on 8 March, taking the high ground to the south, which
controlled the main supply route to the newly-won Remagen bridgehead. After
marching all night, the battalion crossed the Remagen bridge under heavy
artillery fire on 10 March. That afternoon, it advanced through withering
artillery fire and air strafing and bombing to secure high ground south of
Kretzhaus. This high ground overlooked the Remagen bridge and the area for
miles around. Though it was necessary to scale nearly verticale cliffs in the
face of direct fire from enemy positions at the summit, the battalion accom-
plished its mission with complete success. This salient was held for three days
before friendly troops closed in on the flanks. During this time, a strong enemy
counterattack toward the Ludendorff Bridge was repulsed. On 15 March 1945
the battalion, with greatly reduced strength and against the most determined
resistance, secured Kretzhaus and the Kallenborn road junction which controlled
eight roads and a railway line and which repres•ented the 1st enemy. strongpoint
covering the Remagen bridge. The exemplary courage, aggressive spirit, and
devotion to· duty shown by ·the members of the Third Battalion, 310th Infantry
Regiment in atta'ining difficu'lt and important! objecti.ves against determined
ene:my resistance du·ring this period are in accordance with the highest
traditions of the military service.
