History of the U.S. 30th Infantry Regiment

[Walt's Daughter]

Ah, just finished reading the entire history. Of course I caught this:

 

On April 28th the 30th Infantry cross the Lech River. Moving quickly the 30th Infantry was the first unit into Munich the cradle of Naziism on April 30th. On May 4th, the 7th Infantry moves in front of the 2nd Free French Armored Division and the 101st Airborne Division to be the first unit into Berchtesgaden and the "Eagle's Nest." The war would end for the 30th Infantry in Salzburg, Austria on May 5th, 1945 after 31 months of hard combat.

 

I don't know if you were part of the discussion years back, but we talked about this very thing, and in fact I shared an article which WWII Magazine had published about the 3rd BEING first.

 

We actually had one of our members LEAVE our forum after he told me how disrespectful I was and how I insulted the memory of his brother, a member of the 101st. He was PISSED!
