Captain Jack...Just came home and decided to check on my comrades in pain on this thread. I believe I've missed a couple of 1000 posts but not any up movement in the stock price. Even SI has changed. Interesting story concerning the 99th US Division. Under the V Corps, the 99th was led by MajGen. Walter E. Lauer, who wrote a book in which you might be interested. "Battle Babies: The Story of the 99th Inf Div in WWII" Baton Rouge: Military Press of Louisiana, Inc. 1951) The 394th Inf regiment took the major German offensive on Dec 16. 1944. Col. Don Riley (cmdr 394th) realized that there was a 2 mile gap between the 394 in Neuhof and the 14 Cav Rgt at Lanzerath and drove jeep patrols along this gap everyday. The Germans also recognized this gap and sent elements of the 1SS PZ Korps from the 6 Army Group at the 394th. 12SS Pz, 277 VG and 12 VG Divs entered this sector. The war certainly forced many young people to grow up very quickly. Your father was lucky to survive the Ardenne Offensive. Thanks for sharing the story. Loki
