Download Patton's Pawns: The 94th US Infantry Division at the Siegfried Line AudioBook Free
The 94th US Infantry Section was a business formed later in the Second World War, constructed largely of draft-deferred college or university students as enlisted men and an official corps pulled mutually from various local postings with unlucky consequences for shared trust and respect. Initially used as part of the drive blockading the Brittany jacks after D-Day, in December of 1944, the division was designed into General Patton's Third Military south of the Moselle-Saar Triangle, the base which was a portion of the Siegfried Collection known as the Orscholz Change. Its first battle experience arrived in battalion-sized disorders during that bad winter as the Challenge of the Bulge raged to the north, and the Section suffered heavy casualties, many due to the ferocity of the wintertime weather. Patton, with characteristic zeal, excoriated the division's officials and mature NCOs for the speed of non-combat casualties. Thereafter, the division was ordered onward on an all-out assault to break through the Siegfried Collection. After horrific fighting with each other against entrenched defenders, with snow turning to dirt as spring contacted, on Feb 19, 1945, the 94th broke through to open the streets to Trier and the Rhine. This audiobook is the most extensive study up to now of the brutal fighting between your 94th U.S. Infantry Section and their German counterparts during that springtime of 1945. It sheds new light on the successes of the outnumbered division in penetrating Germany's Westwall. With characteristic verve and detail, Tony Le Tissier narrates the action and illuminates the tribulations and sacrifices of American troops who received their laurels at great cost.
