Dug out some more stuff to read on the 14th AD ....
Nice then & now photos!
Eventhough sold out here, it might be worth looking for it.
In March 1945, the 761st led a successful task force, which cracked the Siegfried Line at Klingenmunster and forced the Germans to withdraw across the upper Rhine. The entire 14th Armored Division was then passed through to exploit a breakthrough that had been accomplished by this one tank battalion and a battalion of infantry from the 103rd Infantry Division.
A very famous unit of black soldiers (761st Tank Battalion). They sure did a hell of a job!
