According to the history of the 36th Engineer Combat Regiment, after crossing the Rhine River at Mannheim, they were employed "...supporting the 63rd, 100th Inf Divs, and the 10th Armored Division." The Heilbronn pocket delayed operations for about two weeks with the 2826th (1st Bn) maintaining entrance/exit DUKW sites which supplied the bridgehead and operating support rafts during this period.
The regiment was a non-divisional, independent unit constantly changing attachments, so I'm wondering why they would ever wear a divisional patch of any kind? Like, did they sew on a new patch for every unit they were attached to?---Peanuts
