More great stuff Todd. You're the greatest!
I especially like the line (second set), "At who's order do we revert to TF control as infantry?" For newbies, TF refers to task force.
I checked the records for 24 Dec 1944 and am listing all the actual cities for both battalions:
Lembach
Wingen
Hiedbronn
Liebanthal
Hirschthal
Woerth
Neiderbronn
Berthelming
Melch
Merkwiller
Zigelbourg
Zinswiller
Baerenthal
Schmalenthal
Phillipsbourg
Gumbrecthshoffen
Reichoffen
Ninterfeld
Griesback
Froeschwiller
Baubach
Marsbronn
Ingwiller
All above towns, villages and cities are listed as being in France. This is three months before the 540th crossed the Rhine.
