Dogdaddy: Quite correct about the myth of the "Redoubt Area" in Bavaria. Either the
Krauts put out misinformation or our Intel people guessed wrong. No legions of S.S.
or any great amount of Kraut troops were there.. A easy takeover of Berchtesgaden
and Obersaltz. Far as the jeep wire cutters. They were almost a standard part of any
jeep used in combat conditions for years. Usually they were of "T" iron with a knotch
near the top and sharpened, well welded and braced.
