Combat Narratives
The 10th AD landed at Cherbourg, France, on Sept 23, 1944, and trained at Teurtheville which it left on Oct 25. It entered the line in the Fort Driant sector to contain German forces there on Nov 2. CCB crossed over the Bailey Bridge at Thionville and CCA crossed at Malling to screen in the Saar-Moselle Triangle on Nov 14. Closely supported by aircraft, the division crossed CCA over the Nied River on Nov 18, at a damaged bridge near Filstroff, but in order to speed the advance on the Saare River withdrew and destroyed the bridge there the next day.
CCB meanwhile encountered heavy opposition as, it neared Merzig on Nov 19. CCA was halted by obstacles of the Orscholz Switch Line the following day as CCB fell back under German counter-attack. CCA advanced to Nennig and Tettingen on November 22 but was forced out of both towns. As Tettingen was cleared on Nov 25, the division broke off its advance toward Saarburg and repelled counter-attacks against Borg. Finally, the division reached the Saare River opposite Merzig on Nov 30, and overcame weak resistance in the Merzig area on Dec 1. The capture of Dreisbach the next day marked the completion of division clearing operations west of the Saare.
In response to the German Ardenne counter-offensive, the division was moved to Luxembourg City on Dec 17. CCB was engaged at Bastogne on Dec 19, and CCA moved to positions near Echternacht, where it was relieved by the 4th Infantry Division on Dec 20. The division formed Combat Command X out of the CCA-9-AD and CCR-10-AD on Dec 21. CCA tried in vain to recover Waldbilling. The division fought at Bastogne, Noville, and Bras until relieved in Luxembourg on Dec 26. The 10-AD was then moved east of the Saare to maintain defensive lines. CCB attacked Noville on Jan 9, 1945, and captured Samrée in Belgium, the next day. The division was then moved to the Metz area on Feb 10, and assembled in the Perl – Basch area on Feb 19. It renewed the offensive the next day to clear the Saar Moselle Triangle as it attacked toward Kanzem and Wiltingen bridges and CCB drove northeast on Saarburg. Under heavy enemy fire which prevented bridging, the armored-infantry was forced across the Saar near Ockfen on Feb 22/24. CCB crossed in the Taben area of 94th Infantry Division the following day and on Feb 26, the Ockfen and Serrig bridgeheads were joined and expanded to allow a heavy ponton bridge to be put in at Saarburg. That same day CCB reached Zerf.
On Feb 27, CCA attacked through CCB to enter Trier and take the Moselle River bridge intact on Mar 1/2. It then attacked across the Ruwer River near Eitelsbach against strong opposition on Mar 4, as CCB established a bridgehead under fire over the Kyll River near Ehrang. The Salm River (Germany) was reached and a bridgehead was thrown across in the Dorbach area on Mar 9. The following day, Wittlich was captured. CCA completed the drive from the Alf River to the Moselle and was relieved by the 76th Infantry Division at Bullay on Mar 12, and the next day the division completed assembly at Trier for rehabilitation.
The 10-AD renewed its offensive on Mar 16, attacked through the 80th Infantry Division and the 94th Infantry Division, and reached the Prims River the day after. Bypassing Kaiserlautern, the division stormed Landau on Mar 22. The division crossed the Rhine River on Mar 28 and assembled in preparation for further attack the next day. It attacked across the Neckar River in the Wieblingen area and advanced against rear-guard resistance to effect a junction with the 100th Infantry Division around Heilbron on Apr 7. The division fought in the Crailsheim Salient on Apr 8/10, when it was withdrawn for movement over the Kocher River in the 63rd Infantry Division sector at Weissbach the following day. The division attacked on April 16 and helped clear Schwaebisch Hall on Apr 17/18. It achieved a complete breakthrough over the Rems River on April 19 and took Kirchheim the day after. The 10th Armored Division consolidated and crossed the Danube at Ehingen on Apr 23/24, crossing the Austrian border near Fuessen on Apr 28. The next day it attacked across the Lech River with CCA at Schongau and CCB at Fuessen. The division was at Klais and Garmisch when it was halted to allow the passage of the 44th and 103rd Infantry Divisions through its lines on Apr 30. When hostilities were declared ended on May 7 1945 the division was at Innsbruck, Germany.
