The 10th Armored Division was activated at fort benning, georgia on the 15th of july in 1942. From the very beginning it was known as a hot outfit. Its nickname tiger division. The commanding general of the 10th, Major General paul gardener, was a superb leader. Carryout orders, march, maneuver and shoot where his by words. No journal was more revered by his men. I am john drew devereaux, a Company Commander in the 10th Armored Division in world war ii. We had a marvelous kind of spirit in our division. I think it was due to the training we got from the general newgarden, Division Commander in the states. He was killed in an airplane crash before we went overseas. He had a couple of very pet things that he liked. One that we had to wear the top button of our coveralls buttoned. This was uncomfortable, but we got so that we looked at other outfits that wore them unbuttoned and thought they look liked slobs. When you gave a salute in the 10th Armored Division, a tiger salute, you lifted your chin in the air like that. That seemed to silly until after a while we got used to it. Then we thought were the only outfit in the whole army that thought we knew how to salute properly. In july, 1944, a new leader assumes command. I am Lieutenant General william hh morris junior. I was commanding general of the 10th Armored Division in europe during world war ii. The division sailed from new york on september 14, 1944. The long period of training was over. The men were prepared for anything. But their imagination could not conjure what destiny held in store for them. Two days later, on the 16th of september, hitler, leading with his most trusted generals made a , momentous decision decision , a which would alter the course of the war. , thetion crossroads ardenness offensive, a campaign in which the tigers of the tenth would cover themselves with glory and make military history. The division arrived in battle torn cherbourg on september 22 and was assigned to a group under the control of george ash pattons third army. General George S Pattons third army. General patton came to visit , as he did with all the divisions assigned to his army. He covered effectively the combat Lessons Learned during the war at the squad, section, and platoon level. I am colonel thomas tamerlan. During world war ii i commanded the 11th tank battalion of the 10th Armored Division. I remember vividly the first days of combat, the first orders we received. Colonel roberts called us into a small church yard in a french town. His first words were that the reason he called us into this particular churchyard in this particular town, were that this was the place that he had received his first orders go into combat, during world war i, and he wanted to use this particular spot to start us off. We moved up all afternoon, past toward metz, on a beautiful halloween night we infiltrated our half tracks one by 1, 3 minutes apart, down a very spooky road through a village and up into a wooded area, dismounted and trucked on up and relieved that 90th division. I am william. I was a Battalion Commander, a major in the 10th Armored Division in world war ii. The 10th armored was a very welltrained division. Its first combat was against metz. Metz was a defensive sector as far as the 10th was concerned. We were supposed to aggressively patrol and we did. We saw that every instrument and every weapon was fired at least once in more or less anger against the enemy. [guns firing] i am william lynn roberts, u. S. Army, retired. I was combat command commander of ccb 10th Armored Division in world war ii. I am colonel curtis l. Hanki ns, i was a Battalion Commander in the 10th Armored Division. My First Encounter with enemy fire was during the defensive Operation West of metz. It was here that we learned to sense artillery fire, that is , determine the difference between outgoing, which was friendly fire, [blasting] and incoming, which was german fire. If you could determine with some degree of accuracy where the enemy rounds were going to land, this would save a lot of wear and tear on your knees and elbows, and you would try to take cover every time the rounds would come over. I am colonel james ohara. I commanded the 54th armored Infantry Battalion in the 10th Armored Division. I considered this initial baptism of fire in the defensive position was very good for the battalion. It give us time to gather our thoughts, practice some of the things we had been learning in the states, get our communications working, having reconnaissance work with the free french, practice patrolling, all these things it that are so necessary for battalion to do. I remember my first in combat. We felt very safe in a tank. But during this first day, after i seen the first tank hit by 88 and burned, we began to get scared. But even though we were awful scared, it did not seem to be much for handicap of doing our job, which was to destroy the enemy, and we did a fairly good job that first day. My name is john winter. I was a tank platoon sergeant, 10th Armored Division during world war ii. After fighting for about three weeks around metz, we moved north to participate in the third Army Offensive designed to capture metz. The plan of 20th core, to which the 10th army was assigned, had two phases. To destroy the enemy in metz. And to catch him as he tried to pull out of metz. The mission of the 10th was to make a deep penetration into the enemys lines. Once it crashed through the german defense, the left column, combat command b was to events east and sees a bridgehead over the czar river. The right column, combat command a, was to take the division objector objectives, including ille, the center of arterial highway and Railroad Traffic running northeast of metz. The enemy fought savagely and blocked the way. [explosions] but the tigers clawed their way through the german defense. [gunfire] by the time the tigers had completed their first major offensive mission, they had taken 64 towns, repulsed 11 counterattacks, captured prisoners, and destroyed great quantities of material. But the price was high. On december 7, hitler approved the final operation now renamed watch on the rhine. The plan of attack was to break through on the ardennes with three armies. The sixth panzer army led by the butcher from bavaria. The fifth panzer army, led by a baron. And the seventh army led by general brandenburger. They would cross the river on the second day between liege and namur, bypass brussels and reached the great port of antwerp on the second day. This was to destroyed more than 30 american and british divisions, and they believed it would be the beginning of the end for the allies. Within the next week, thousands upon thousands of troops and thousands upon thousands of tons of materiel were transported secretly from Assembly Areas to terminals just behind the front lines. [marching troops] on the eve of december 15, onequarter of a million germans stood poised on the line of departure, prepared to annihilate the enemy. [dramatic music] at 5 30 a. M. , the following morning [bombs] flames erupted along an 85mile front. Hitlers great drive to antwerp had begun. [artillery fire] on december 16, 1944 about 6 00 p. M. , i received a telephone call from general walker, who informed me there that i was meant to be transferred with the division to the first army and replaced under the eighth call, that they had been attacked by the germans in the vicinity of luxembourg. I immediately dispatched my chief of staff to the headquarters of the eighth corps for orders. The chief of staff returned about 2 00 a. M. The next morning and informed me that the division was to go into a quartering area, just west of luxembourg. When the battle of the bulge began, my unit was in a rest area south of luxembourg. We received orders to be prepared to move north on 24 hours notice. A short time later, the alert was changed to 12 hours. A short time later, we were on the road. The 10th Armored Division sent two of its comeback commands northwest of luxembourg to go into action there. They sent my combat command west to one town and then north to another. Preceded my outfit and got in around 4 00 p. M. The general asked how my outfit fought and have any pieces my outfit would fight in, and i told him three, and he said all right. Send one six or seven commoners north, one east and one southeast. A little sidelight here. I had held up the march of our outfit to get ohara in front, because ohara had not been in the fighting heavily down around the mertzig area. So we got ohara in front, and i sent him out. I took my team down, and we stopped for the night opposite the town of warden. On our way down this road, we passed Many American soldiers coming to the rear, most of whom seemed to be from the 28th division. Apparently they had been hit hard further forward. When we got to our destination for the night, since we received our orders at 5 00 in the afternoon, and there was not much daylight left, we settled astride the road and blocked the road. I arrived in baston just as night was falling. I found an mp, who led me to colonel roberts cp. It was a brief meeting, and he told me that ohara had been sent east of the town and was in the defensive position, and the cherry was moving slightly northeast of the town. And as soon as my column arrived, i was to keep moving to the north of the town, and if there were any germans there, i was to knock them out and to of the town and to occupy it. If there were no germans, i was to occupy the town going north for the north, because this be the limit of the range of the 10th Armored Division artillery, which was located in the vicinity of baston. This was the disposition of combat command b on the 18th of december, the night of their arrival in baston. One team was north, one team east, team ohara at wardin. The the total strength of the defending units was 75 tanks and 2800 officers and men. Battering at the gates of bastogne with events elements of the fifth panzer army and general brandenburger seventh army. Approximately 300 tanks and 50,000 men Whose Mission in addition to taking the towns was to take bastogne and to take a fast. [speaking german] it was very important to capture bastogne fast. It was it was the most important road junction in the Southern Area of the combat section. Generalvent, eisenhowers reserve forces, which we expected were near arrived to attack, and they would have to pass bastogne. [speaking german] im a former general of the panzertruppe and commanderinchief of the fifth panzer army. Aswe completed tableting the defenses about midnight. Actually the defense was a , routine traditional type defense. We set out roadblocks to the east, one to the north, and one to the northwest, because these were the directions that we expected the germans to attack us. The fighting throughout the night was sporadic. It was a piecemeal attack. They would hit us with small units from the north, and then they would hit us with small units from the east. [shooting] [bomb blasts] terry, who is not here, went out to one town, came back at midnight, and found me asleep. He asked that he be allowed to sit on a road out east, because he had found a combat command, ccr, on the ninth Armored Division in position, 10 or 12 tanks, a colonel, and some artillery. I gave him permission to stay where he was. Terry never got back to his command. In the meantime, some of the panzer lair division had cut in behind his outfit, and he never joined. However, his headquarters went in to a little chateau. Chateau, terry had a tank or two and a few machine guns and his whole headquarters company. And he put up a real nice fight all day. That evening, he had to retire. He felt like he had to get out, because he was being bird out. Terry lined up his vehicles to go out. He was to go out last in a jeep. He went outside. He got two tommy guns. He emptied one tommy gun to the right. Got the other one to the left, climbed in his jeep, and pulled out. The driver was hit, the jeep was hit, the medic in the back was hit. Terry got out. He got a dsc for this. My battalion spent the night on the high ground to the south. All night long we saw no german troops or heard nothing of them. However, we did have one straggler come to the rear who , who told us they were east of us in the area. By 10 00 in the morning, they came down the road and shot out the artillery observers tank and one or two other tanks. We fought all morning long and part of the afternoon, staying in the same position there, keeping the germans at bay. [shooting] at first, the defense of bastogne rested with three units of the division in the tas task force in the intheast, task force cherry the east, and task force ohare in the southeast. I am general anthony mcauliffe, United States army retired. I was at bastogne with the 101st Airborne Division in mid december, 1944. The 101st Airborne Division was at a camp in france. We were recuperating from the holland airborne operation, where we had suffered 30 casualties. And we were absorbing our replacements and going through a training program. General taylor had been recalled to washington, and i was the acting commander of the division. I believe it was on december 18 that we received a telephone call from the chief of staff of the 18th airborne corps, saying the division should be prepared to move the following day to the north. We had known the germans had attacked, but we did not know the extent of the attack or the conditions to the north. But we made all preparations to get away the following day, and the first thing in the morning, i preceded the division to the north in a sedan with my aid to e to camp and my operations officer. As i drove north, i reached across road a couple of miles west of the town of bastogne. Orpsew that the viii Co Headquarters was located in that town, so i decided to drive over to the headquarters and try to learn more about the situation. It was fortunate that i did so, because i learned from the corps commander, general middleton, that the orders for the 101st Airborne Division had been changed, and that the division would come to bastogne. I also met there colonel roberts, who was commander of combat command b of the 10th Armored Division, who were already on the scene and in the fighting. It was attacked five or six times that first day, he will describe. During the morning of that first day, one battalion under prade of the 101st airborne joined him. As soon as the colonel joined, they decided to attack, apparently at the same time the germans decided to attack. Paratroopers and our tanks and s and our tanks and our armored infantry launched the attack. 1400 hours, the German Forces launched an all out attack. So we had the situation of the germans and the american units attacking one another simultaneously from points about 700 yards distant. [machine gun fire] actually the germans were stopped. They withdrew behind the ridge. Paratroopers on the northwest of the town gained the ridge. The tanks, the armored infantry on the northeast of the town were unable to get to their positions. So after a fight of about 45 minutes or an hour, we withdrew the paratroopers from the northeast back into the town. One officer is hit badly and colonel prade was killed that evening. I did not know this, but he was hurt for 24 hours. He was later captured when the hospital is captured. For 24 hours, they slugged it out with a pneumatically superior enemy. Then on the 22nd of december , [explosions] when the besieged city was finally encircled, the commanding general of the 47th panzer corps sent the following surrender ultimatum. It called for the surrender of the bastogne garrison. If the americans did not comply within two hours, bastogne would destroyed, and its defenders annihilated. General mcculloughs oneword answer, nuts , reverberated around the world. This is lorne greene. In world war ii, 61 United States Army Divisions were locked in mortal combat with the enemy. The european theater of operations. This film is about one of those divisions. The 10th armored. Its nickname was the tiger division. On the 16th of december, 1944, hiler began his great drive to hitler began his great drive to the port of antwerp, they are dens offensive ardennes offensive. Six days later, on the 22nd of december, strong German Forces surrounded the outnumbered and outgunned american defenders of bastogne, a Key Communication center. As a result of this encirclement, the commanding general of the german 47th panzer corps delivered the surrender ultimatum to general anthony mcauliffe, commander of the bastogne garrison. The reply was nuts. Fighting in the city was combat commander [machine gun fire] from the very beginning of the battle for bastogne, heavy fire and bad weather prevented aerial resupply. There was a shortage of Surgical Equipment and not enough blankets for the men suffering from wounds and shock. Ammunition was running low and some of the artillery batteries were down to less than 10 rounds per gun. But the morning of december 23 broke clear and cold and visibility was unlimited. From england Bastogne Bastogne ne,to the foxholes of bastog where every man man looked up to the sky and prayed. And their prayers were answered. [airplanes flying] im a retired berg dear Brigadier General u. S. Army retired. I was combat commander of ccb 10th Armored Division in world war ii. The 19th tactical furnished us every halfhour a squadron of planes circled us. At the same time, by some luck, a captain staggered in two to bastogne. How he got there i do not know but he was an expert on operating with the air from the ground. We had a fine vhf sat and work with the air. We set the thing up in the middle of the compound and he used the air as follows. The airplanes carried napalm bombs, ordinary bombs, rockets and what he called bullets. He says i pulled the napalm bombs first and bombs next. I pulled the rockets next then i gave them bullets. And before i let them go, they would encircle once to give us new targets. I have estimated that this, that the air was equal to at least two divisions of help. Because they could see in the snow which had newly fallen, where the tanks had gone and they were able to bomb all of these little woods. At one time they found they were moving right toward the fourth Armored Division which was battling to get into us. And i think the air, the next air squadron destroyed the whole group. I am general anthony mcauliffe, United States army retired. I was at bastogne with the 101st Airborne Division in 1944. One of the saddest and most dramatic incidents occurred Christmas Eve night. We asked for volunteers when we lost our hospital. And a very fine trained nurse, the daughter of the Village Hardware store keeper, renee le mere, volunteered. She took charge of the wounded from the 10th Armored Division on the streets of bastogne. But on christmas a five hunter a 500 pound bomb struck the house, went all the way through and none of the 10th Armored Division soldiers nor she survived. Not a one survived. On december 26, elements of the fourth Murder Division crashed into bastogne. For the germans, it was beginning of the end. Weon the 16th of january, were relieved. One of thetogne in worst blizzards i had ever seen. Going up the hill about 40 miles with, great big, long hill a slope, the tanks couldnt make it. They were sliding back like bears on a slippery slide. I haveking it over, decided that if we had been in bastogne alone without any infantry, we could not have held 10 minutes. The 101st airborne, without the steal my outfit afforded, could not have held steel my outfit afforded, could not have held. But they made a pretty tough combination. It always seemed regrettable to me that combat command b of the 10th armored vision did not get the credit it deserved in the battle of bastogne. All of the newspaper and radio talk was about the paratroopers. Actually, the 10th Armored Division was in there a day before we were and had some very hard fighting for we ever got into it. And i sincerely believe that we would never have been able to get into bastogne if it had not been for the defensive fighting of the three elements of the 10th Armored Division, who were first into bastogne and protected the town from invasion by the germans. On the 20th of february, 1945. The 10th Armored Division was rolling in high gear again. The mission this time was to clear the mosel triangle and capture a city, an important and fortified area. This was the job general patton had started in november of 1944 but left unfinished because of the are ardennes counteroffensive. Im colonel james ohara. I commanded the 54th battalion of the 10th Armored Division. Our division was involved in action in the triangle on two different occasions. On the first occasion, i was not involved. On the second occasion it was after the battle of bastogne. We were told to drive there. As i recall the 94th division, and entertain Infantry Division made their way through the line and we followed and got in with little incident. When we got up to the river, our Division Headquarters moved into the town and planned a River Crossing. For this River Crossing, the general who commanded cca was put in command. He was given all three of the armored infantry italians as his battalions at his commands and told to test armored different he did missions of the armored Infantry Divisions as his commands. I think the River Crossing we did on the way was one of the things i would least like to do again. We did it at night. And it is always more difficult to do something at night and it is a lot more scary we carried these assault boats for what seemed like five miles through the woods when he came out of the woods, at the edge of the river, we had to go a lot of go across a lot of open fields and across fences. While we were going through there, it was pitch dark, of course. All of a sudden we walked into not only a minefield, but the whole place was boobytrapped. Just as the first mine or first boobytrapped went off, they began to let us have it with mortar and artillery fire. And people screaming men in. People screaming medic you did not know if you should put your foot down again in front of you for fear youre going to step on something or whether you should just stay right where you are. Or what to do. It is about as scrape or it was about as scary thing as i have ever been through. It is about as scary a thing as i have ever been through. We finally got to the river and crossed without too much trouble and it was a great feeling to get on the others on solid ground again. We got up to the top of the hill and down in the valley below. There we met again with the general. There is not too much action at this time. We saw many prisoners coming to the rear. However, there were a number of pillboxes which had to be cleared out. The general gave us our choice of when to clear these pillboxes out. Some of them cleared them out in the daytime. In my case, i decided to clear these pillboxes at night. We had a lot of training back in the states on how to take a pillbox. So when it came our turn to do this, we were fairly well prepared for it. We crawled through about 1500 yards of open field, got down into an antitank ditch, and then the approved routine was that your bazooka man was to fire his bazooka at the observation slit of the pillbox while a couple of the others went around the back and threw grenades in. I turned to the bazooka man and said ok, now you fire at the observations lets and he said ok. And he turned around to the rocket man and said give me the rockets for the bazooka only to find that the rocket man was lying on his stomach about 15 00 yards way back where we had started. There is nothing to do but take a couple of and ones and pop away at the slit while the platoon sergeant and myself went around to the back. It was rather like the movies. The platoon sergeant would open the door on the back door of the toolbox and i would take a grenade and throw it in and he would slam the door and we would both lean on it but make sure nobody got out. We did this pretty well all afternoon. I think by the end of the afternoon we had maybe one 150 prisoners. The tigers of the 10th together with the 94th Infantry Division had overrun 84 square miles of german real estate and captured 23 towns, setting the stage for the subsequent capture of the area. The 10th army was then given the mission of taking the town of trier. We were sent on the road and told to capture it and we had to go another town. We got up near that town and found that the germans which we had knocked out from the area around the river, retreated just behind their and they were zeroing in with heavy artillery. I had gone past there in the morning and found that the town was boiling with artillery, i did not see how anybody could live there. I moved on up to a battalion that had lost its whole headquarters, some sick, some absent, when killed and my executive and i took over this battalion. It was raining, it was dark, they were shelling. At the same time, then all general patton was raising cain with general walker, the corps commander, who was raising cain with general margin general morris, the Division Commander, who was raising cain with me to get into trier. All of the division was around there except my little force that was just being relieved. Colonel richardson, Lieutenant Colonel richardson was commanding. I heard he was to be relieved by the rangers in the afternoon. They were yelling over the radio, get into zert. I sat the headquarters that evening with roberts. We used the whole map and decided we would play this is a map problem. We wanted to go around to the right we found out that it was dark and we did not have a guide and it was loaded with mines and we knew the big minefields of there and we are afraid to do that the only road was directly in. In but you cannot hold a hand in the afternoon on this road because the germans were on the ridges on each side. So we could not figure on this road but all at once, it occurred to us that it was black and the germans could not see any bid on the road. See anybody on the road. So we decided we would send him down this road. Richardson not lose, came into the headquarters, we told him he was going in. He brought his young officers in. Brief them. I remember he told one outfit, i will take the bridge to the right and you take the bridge to the left. It happens that we knew these two bridges were still intact from airplane photographs that day. To make a long story short, richardson got into the town and then once his bridge blew up in front of his face. He had not heard a boom. For the other bridge so he rambled down in his tank to the other bridge. Found out that it had not blown. There was a little shooting from this end of the bridge. But it was sporadic and it was not organized. He organized a battalion or platoon, scented across the sent it across the bridge. He had his tank and other stuff fire on the other end of the bridge and fortunately they got across. They captured the man, the officer who was supposed to blow it. He directed them to 11 other officers who have told on him at that got away, they were in the back. So he got the whole group. My name is john winter. I was a tank platoon sergeant in world war ii. After that we shopped onto to germany. On then we pulled back to we then we pulled back to triere. We were given a mission on the opposite side of the mountain to try to take a bridge intact. We started out under the cover of darkness. As we approached in this valley, where the bridge was supposed to be, the germans were set with 88s and infantry awaiting for us. That is where i lost my tank. When it was hit, it immediately burnt and i bailed out of the top of it, dived out of the top. I was running into a large dairy barn for cover. On the 16th of march, the entire division was pushing toward the rhine. To get there, the tigers dealt with endless and maple box pillboxes, and worst of all 100,000 welltrained german troops. [artillery fire] i was a battalion mander of commander of the 61st infantry in the 10th Armored Division. I remember on the rhine the destruction of a german supply column. This took place with the aid of the air force who had bottled up some german vehicles earlier in the day. We were able to destroy the german armies supply train. This was recognized as one of the greatest comments greatest concentrations of enemy equipping of the antiwar. Of the entire war. General patton equipment of general patton came down and said it was most fantastic destruction of an enemy column he had seen during the entire war. The tigers the rhine valley the tigers reach the rhine valley in a week capturing 8000 prisoners and sitka and cutting off the escape route for 50,000 germans. On the 28th of march, they crossed the rhine with a final cleanup that was to take them clear to the austrian and Bavarian Alps. Three days later, after heavy fighting, the Division Road rode through the Historic University city of heidelberg. But the tigers were getting tired. After six months of continuous fighting, the division was not now 50 below strength and the men were showing the inevitable signs of wear and tear. This was a dangerous situation. For although the germans were on the run, they still packed a murderous wallop. [artillery fire] on the third of april, 1945, the 10th Armored Division and battalion of the 100 Infantry Division received orders to seize a town and continue east. Im Lieutenant Colonel george hamel. During world war ii i was a Company Commander in between first tank battalion, 10th Armored Division. The division had been ordered to seize a city, a Key Communications center. Our battalion, task force riley, had driven up to very gates of it, only to find that the bridges across the river were blown in our faces. The division was then ordered to attempt to cut off the town from the rear. Across the river north of the town and make a wide sweep. They ran into very little opposition. We were ordered to follow the task force, passthrough and continue on. We successfully passed through and to the next large town and penetrated deeper into german territory, when we came to some blown bridges and were complete ly stopped. By this time, the germans had reacted to this penetration into their rear. The german reaction was violent. It was the greatest display of strength since the ardennes offensive. Supplies were running low for the americans in the city and it looked as though another bastogne might be in the making. But the air force. Came through again in the next two days, transports from the ninth care command brought the necessary gasoline, rations and ammunition to sustain the tigers. Despite their ability to beat off one enemy after the other, the tigers could not maintain supremacy without reinforcements. And rienforcements were not available. As a result, the the mission was changed in the division ordered to withdraw from the area. We all resented, i think, the fact that we had to give up this terrain that we had taken and held. Certainly, we were not driven out. We withdrew. It was a sad disappointing indeed to receive orders to withdraw from there, especially after it appeared that the overall objective had been one. Had been won. From april 11 to 22nd, the combat fatigue tigers went south. They stood poised along the north bank of the danube. And Infantry Division was already fighting where the First German Army was trying to make a desperate stand. [gunfire] the city fell in a matter of a few hours. As the lead vehicle passed the outskirts of the town at 8 54 a. M. , a message will back to combat command. A few minutes later, the paris radio announced the American Forces had captured it when in fact, we were still fighting there. With a capitulation, the three combat commands of the 10th Armored Division proceeded forward. Town after town was gobbled up in the great rush. Our division was ordered to attack down through the Bavarian Alps to the path to link up with american troops coming north through italy. The germans had threatened to make a lastditch stand in what was referred to as the German National readout area. There had been a lot of talk about undercover activities by what the germans referred to as werewolves. As we approached the alps, we could see them from a distance. And it certainly made all of us pause and wonder what awaited us. They were very beautiful. Great, snowcapped peaks. But, for an armored unit, it was also, rather forbidding. Actually, when we got into the alps, we found our little resistance. And our battalion went down through towns. While clearing the roadblocks, the scene of the world famous passion play, and International Red cross representative came at the other side of the roadblock. He had with him a german captain. They wanted to negotiate for the city, the scene of the 1936 winter olympics. They wanted us to great not to to agree not to shoot up the town. After considerable discussion, we agreed not to shoot unless the germans fired at us first. When we arrived at the town, the International Red cross representative escorted us through the town and the germans lived up to their bargain and did not begin firing until we were well beyond the city. This ended the war for my task force and i cannot think of a better place to end it. I am colonel thomas tamerlan. Chamberlain. During world war ii i commanded the 11th take battalion of the 10th Armored Division. If the staff of the division had spent two years trying to pick the best place to end the war, they could not have done as well as we actually did. There, there were big hotels on the lake where the men could go swimming and boating. Of course, plenty of skiing. And iceskating. In addition, there were horses available so that they could go horseback riding. It made a fine place to relax after the war. The war was over and won. The tigers of the 10th had met and thumped the best of the enemy. They had covered 600 which are, 600 bitter, bloody miles, fighting almost every inch of the way.
