Yea Russ: Remember them well now that you brought them up. Nurnburg was at leastl as bad as the Rhine River Crossing. Was a 3 day battle for us with very high casualties. I still wonder if it was worth it, or should have been bypassed and left it for
"mop up" so as not to slow us down on our last push to the end, which was in sight. Will
leave that to the historians. Nurnburg was a walled city, with a "city" inside it, and one
hard nut to crack, taking 3 days of heavy fighting with high losses. It sure "pared down"
our rifle companies. Then soon after if I remember right, we had the Danbe to cross.
After that we sure had a shortage of personel in each company and platoons and few replacements join us as we were moving quickly for them to catch up to us. A lot of miles in a short period. Cant help but wonder just what our actual strength was in terms of being understrength. I know my company was quite understrengthed.
