All we haerd was " On to Berlin" Patton Blieved that was what the US Army would do.
Once the army was in Germany the following Happened.
7th Army was ordered to sweep across southern Germany to the Austrian Border.
The Central armies stopped at the Elbe
Eisenhower twxed Stalin that the US Army would not enter Berlin.Stalin would have this honor.
When IKe thought the brits may not stop the Russsian from moving north into Denmark, The 101st and 82nd A/B was sent in to block the northern route into Denmark!
IKe knew at this time. about the division of Germany between the Allies, with the Berlin area going to the Russians.
This is a little known action, that saved many US soldiers lives.
Yearsd later D.D. Eisenhower interviewed Stephen Ambrose and asked him to be his Biographer. Many b ooks were written around this subject but little was told about it.
Without this action by IKe WW2 would have ended differently.
Any comments.
