End of the War

“Now.” General Patton was put in command of US 3^rd Army advancing toward Belgium where, 101^st Airborne troops were surrounded by Germans. On January 1944 had snow and ice (coldest in 100 years).
April 1, 1945 the 7^th Army moved most of our troops out of France except Nancy, France and Toul Terminal - needed all personnel in Germany.
Hostilities ended May 8, 1945 and on May 19^th the first freight train crossed the Neckar River near Stuttgart and Danube.

War over! We moved from Nancy, France to Esslingen, Germany and stayed on as the army of occupation for several months.
