The 11th AD was ordered to spearhead the attack making a crossing of the Kyll River, and thereafter advancing on an axis Budesheim-Kelberg-Mayen to capture Andernach. The order allowed the crossing over the Kyll River to be made in the zone of and in conjunction with the 4th Inf Div. On a three division front, the 87th, 4th, and 90th Inf Divs were to follow, assist the 11th AD where necessary, and clear their respective north to south zones.
The 4th Inf Div attack failed to accomplish its assigned mission by noon. CCB sent a tank task force north to the Oos crossing and found the bridge blown. Automatic weapon and small arms fire prevented any engineer work at the site until the 4th Inf Div mission could be completed. No by-pass could be located.
Late in the day the easternmost critical hill still remained to be captured by the infantry. Plans were made for renewal of the attack at first light 6 March. The Lissingen screening force was passed through by the 90th Inf Div late in the afternoon as a result of a shift of boundaries to the north which gave the 90th an opportunity to force the Gerolstein crossing site by appropriate infantry action. Div Arty moved forward during the morning to Budesheim.
The bulk of the artillery was also brought forward and shifted to the north where the full weight of all six battalions could be used to cover the planned Bettingen crossing sites. CCA rolled up to the Budesheim-Wallersheim area. Movement was initiated at ; the command closing in the new area by The Division Command Post moved to Rommersheim by echelon, opening at The 56th Armd Engr Bn followed to the same location. A verbal modification of the Division mission was arrived at which called for seizing the high ground west of the river opposite the Bettingen sites and assisting the 4th Inf Div in the crossing itself.
At , FO 16 was accordingly issued specifying that the Division was to secure high ground on the west bank of the Kyll River, then pass through a bridgehead to be established by either the 4th Inf Div or 90th Inf Div and attack east along the axis Kelberg-Mayen to capture Andernach. Combat commands were to be abreast with CCB on the right. Axial ridge routes were selected and designated Red and Blue with Red Route on the south.
CCB resumed its attack at Task Force Sagaser doubled back to the west through Duppach and then attacked northeast to seize Ober Bettingen at The bridge over he Kyll River was blown by the enemy as troops entered the town. Moderate resistance and rain-soaked terrain were the principal obstacles en-route.
At least men of the German 5th Parachute Div were dug in on the high ground across the river. Man of these men were armed with sniper rifles, limiting activity around the crossing site. Shortly before dark, however, dismounted infantry forded the river and forced them out of their defensive positions to establish a small bridgehead. Meanwhile, Task Force Wingard, crossing an engineer-constructed bridge at Oos, attacked northeast through Kalenborn and Roth against light to moderate resistance to capture Nieder Bettingen at The bridge across the Kyll at this point was found to be blown.
Infantry elements waded the stream to establish a bridgehead to the south near Dohm. Two medium tank companies forded the river successfully, but during the night the ford became impassable. Although a limited bridgehead was established by each Task Force neither could be expanded rapidly due to rugged wired-in positions, wet weather, and elaborate AT defenses including AT ditches, mines, and abates.
During the seizure of crossing sites and actual crossing of the river heavy fire from tanks, AT guns and mortars from the east side of the river was received, as the 5th Parachute Div defended the river line with fanatical fury. Div Arty continued to support CCB throughout the period. Enemy strong-points on the east bank of the Kyll River around Hillesheim were the principal targets. Up to noon 37 missions, involving an expenditure of 86 rounds were fired.
Concentrated fires were maintained throughout the afternoon and night to cover the crossings made. Following on foot, the 4th Inf Div was scheduled to relieve CCB, expand the established bridgeheads, and build a bridge at Nieder Bettingen during the night March. Troops for the relief had not arrived on the scene up to midnight. CCR moved to Fleringen, arriving at CCA went on a 2-hour alert for this possible crossing, and one platoon of A Troop 41st Cavalry was dispatched at to the bridge site to ford the river and reconnoiter routes to the east.
CCA Engineers worked through the night bridging craters in the river approach road west of Lissingen. Trouble with approaches, abutments, and wet weather complicated the work. Completion time estimates were periodically moved forward, until at the bridge was still not ready. Between three and four in the morning elements of CCB on the east side of the Kyll were relieved by 4th Inf Div units.
An enemy counterattack during the relief was repulsed. To assist in expanding the bridgehead and direct attention from the bridge construction going on at Ober Bettingen, a CCB task force composed of infantry elements and the two medium tank companies on the east side of the river opposite Dohm was organized to renew the attack north to Hillesheim. Completion of the bridge at Lissingen changed the situation, however, and at CCB was ordered to cease river crossing operations and move south to follow CCA across the Kyll River in the 90th Inf Div zone.
Following the capture of Gerolstein on 6 March, the 90th Inf Div was able to complete a Bailey bridge across the Kyll River at Lissingen during the night, and at , CCA was ordered to march on the Lissingen bridge site and attack through the 90th Inf Div bridgehead in the direction of Kelberg. Intermittent rain and snow had made a quagmire of the country side.
At Pelm a roadblock was by-passed by taking an alternate route through Kirchweileer and Hinterweiler. First contact with the enemy was made two miles east of Pelm at Dreis and Boxberg were taken against light to moderate resistance, but heavy resistance in the form of nebelwerfer, mortar, automatic weapon, and anti-tank fire held up TF Ahee at Kelberg. This critical road center, on the master ridge between the Kyll and Rhine valleys, was the last hope for an enemy stand.
Artillery was brought forward and additional infantry asked for to continue the attack. A combined tank-infantry attack, supported by artillery, was quickly launched. The town was seized at to complete the breakthrough.
Enemy losses in the action included four tanks, numerous wheeled vehicles and personnel. Our own losses included five tanks and 14 casualties, including the task force commander. With the clearing of Kelberg at , CCA was directed, on account of blinding darkness, to suspend the attack for the night, coil up trailing elements, and resume the advance at , 8 March.
Many hundreds of enemy troops who offered to surrender were saved to the rear for evacuation by the follow-up infantry division, as it was evident after the capture of Kelberg that the enemy was in a disorganized and confused state.
Several engineer vehicles, two light tanks, a medium tank, and a halftrack of Task Force Brady were knocked out before the gun and crew were destroyed. CCB, during the afternoon, withdrew all troops from the east side of the Kyll River, and assembled north of Budesheim. After dark vehicles had to be individually guided across the several treadway bridged craters along the steep-banked river approach road, further slowing movement. With the arrival of the 4th Inf Div Arty reorganization ensued to comply with the support plan for the breakthrough to the Rhine.
Principal fires were laid on Kelberg during the attack and around the town after nightfall. Late in the day, due to the major alteration of plans, CCA was ordered to turn north at or west of Kelberg and continue to the east on the Blue Route through Hannebach to Brohl. Pressing verbal orders were received from VIII Corps during the evening that all combat elements would be moved east of the Kyll River prior to daylight.
The long, single, rain-drenched column moved slowly through the night as the fight against road obstacles continued. From Third Army insistent orders were also passed down to complete the advance to the Rhine not later than 8 March at all costs. Just before midnight the situation improved somewhat as CCB elements started o coil off the road far enough east to be clear of the infantry and on high drained ground where at least some vehicles did not become hopelessly bogged down.
Previously prepared enemy positions were unmanned or crushed. Some AT and small arms fire was received from the flanks, but thousands of the enemy voluntarily gathered along the axis of advance and were waved to the rear for evacuation. Surrendering German soldiers poured into Kelberg. Leading elements reached Mayen at A viaduct over the main road at the west edge of Mayen was blown and TF Brady was forced to bypass on a cross-country route while A Company 56th Engr Bn installed treadway for the remainder of the command.
Troops entered and seized the city against scattered resistance shortly thereafter. Contact was established with the 4th AD six km east of Mayen at and a temporary operational boundary established between divisions. The command assembled in the vicinity of Plaidt for the night. TF Brady was sent toward Andernach to determine enemy dispositions.
Forward elements reached Miesenheim at and assembled for the night. Moving throughout the night, CCB cleared Gerolstein at as the bulk of the command coiled near Kirchweiler. At daylight movement was resumed to Kelberg, following CCA. The heavy column soon dropped the bottom out of the undrained secondary road east of Pelm. Repairs ere made by individual vehicle crews en-route.
Heavy vehicles bogged down as shoulders gave away along the narrow route. Rain fell continuously. Movement was reduced to a walking pace until the good highway was again reached near Dockweiler. Shortly after noon the CCB column turned north just east of Kelberg and attacked northeast on the axis Mullenbach-Kempenich.
A complete bed German hospital unit was overrun at Nurburg. Nearby resistance from enemy troops being bottled up between the First and Third Armies was encountered in he vicinity of Hannebach shortly after dark. Attempts to bypass this resistance were unsuccessful. Twenty artillery pieces were seized intact, and an enemy horse-drawn column including some 35 vehicles was overtaken, split in two, and destroyed by fire on the approach to the town.
At least prisoners were accumulated in small groups along the route during the action and marched toward Kelberg. The command coiled, re-supplied, and prepared to resume the attack at daylight the following day. An advance Division command post was operated from Kelberg throughout the day.
Resistance during the day was scattered and light. Roadblocks in towns were the principal obstacles. Troops of the 9th Armd Div had seized the Remagen bridge across the Rhine River to the north and firing could be heard from that direction. A reconnaissance company of the th TD Bn was sent north from Burgbrohl to contact these elements of the First Army, but were unsuccessful. One hundred 75mm horse drawn artillery pieces and at least fifty motor transport vehicles were overrun or destroyed.
During the night and morning of 9 March, CCA reorganized and re-supplied, in preparation for renewal of operations to seize the Division final objective. Patrols returning from the outskirts of Andernach early in the morning reported some resistance encountered and no surrender offered. A strong infantry task force was organized for the attack. At , the attack was launched and the west bank of the Rhine river reached through Andernach by Troops met considerable isolated resistance from various sectors of the city.
Many snipers were active, and mortar and artillery fire fell on the city from the NW and from the east bank of the Rhine. A total of at least prisoners were captured. Five hundred head of horses, uncounted wagons and motor transport, and large quantities of miscellaneous materiel abandoned on the west bank of the Rhine were recovered.
CCR was directed to operate a prisoner of war collecting point at Kelberg after reaching the town about Unescorted German soldiers in small groups and in lots up to , walking back along the routes of advance, were temporarily caged and evacuation to the rear initiated. A clearing operation in this large city netted additional prisoners. Division troops, including the Division command post, reached Kelberg at Following CCA, such elements moved on to Mayen during the morning, closing at Military Government promptly took over supervision of the civilian authorities.
Motorized elements of the 90th Inf Div followed closely, occupying towns along the main route of advance until Mayen was reached late in the day. With the seizure of Andernach at , the assigned Division mission had been accomplished, although the time allowed had been exceeded.
Seizure of bridges across the Rhine; lateral contact, particularly to the north; and a general clearing operation were ordered. Since 7 March at when leading elements of CCA started crossing the Kyll river at Lissingen, an advance of 40 miles in 51 hours had been made to capture Andernach on the Rhine River. The muddy memories of difficulties and delay incident to the Kyll river crossing had been overshadowed by the accelerating breakthrough and exploitation action that followed.
In its first action of this type some 33 towns, including Mayen and Andernach, had been captured by the Division. Large quantities of enemy materiel, including six tanks, horse drawn artillery pieces, and uncounted hundreds of horse and motor transport had been overrun and captured or destroyed. At least 10, prisoners, from a large number of dissolving enemy units, including a Division Commander and his staff, were corralled and evacuated. All other divisions were directed to clear assigned zones between the Kyll River and a north-south line through Mayen, The 11th AD was ordered, in addition to the mission assigned on 9 March, to move elements south of the new Army boundary and defend the Rhine River in the Corps zone.
On completion of clearing operations. Confirming verbal orders issued, 11th AD Operations Memo 32 was distributed at CCA, along the Rhine River, was directed to clear its zone, defend the river line, and maintain lateral contacts. CCB, in the north and NW portion of the zone, was directed to establish and maintain contact with V Corps elements to the north, clear its zone, and subsequently move south to conform to the Army boundary change. CCR was charged with clearing a southwestern zone in the Division area.
Although CCA had captured and occupied a portion of the city of Andernach on the afternoon of 9 March, sporadic resistance was still put up by civilians and hold-out SS troops. During the early morning a number of the enemy attempted to escape across the Rhine River in barges but direct fire from tanks destroyed the barges and drowned several hundred enemy troops. A small pocket of enemy troops on wooded high ground west of Andernach was liquidated. The town of Eich was cleared by the Cavalry, and by afternoon all resistance in Andernach had cease.
Military Government personnel discovered a number of Displace Person slave labor camps near Andernach in taking over the city government. CCB initiated mopping-up operations in its zone and made contact with the 2nd Inf Div at Dedenbach around to close the trap between the First and Third Armies. Contact was also made with he 9th Armd Div at Bad Neuenacher about 1a A second German hospital unit was taken over in Maria Laach.
The command post moved to Kottenheim at , after its clearance. Favorable weather and considerable repair having made roads from Kyll again serviceable, Division Trains moved from west of the Kyll to rejoin the Division. Trains Hq closed in Mayen at The contact made by CCB during the day with elements of the First Army sealed a tremendous trap along the west bank of the Rhine River from which additional thousands of German prisoners were taken by following infantry divisions.
CCB regrouped preparatory to moving south into its assigned area. Elements of the command systematically cleared ten towns. Negative reports on intact bridges across the Rhine River were received from both major commands during the day. Division Artillery was assigned an area in the vicinity of Ober Mendig for later assembly. Groupment Davitt, from positions in the vicinity of Plaidt, continued target of opportunity and harassing fires along the east bank of the Rhine opposite Andernach.
The Division command post was moved from Mayen at and reopened at Nieder Mendig about Patrols were continued through the afternoon. Simultaneously, relieved troops were moved into the prescribed area south of the new Army boundary. CCR completed clearing its area and concentrated in and about Kottenheim before noon.
Limited patrolling was continued. Div Arty Hq moved to Ober Mendig at A 56th Armd Engr Bn patrol initiated route reconnaissance south and east to the Moselle River in anticipation of further action in such directions. An expansion of the Corps zone to the south along the Moselle River indicated impending action to seize Coblenz, at the confluence of the Moselle and the Rhine Rivers.
When relieved, the 11th AD was to assemble in Corps reserve, maintaining contact with the First Army on the north flank and protecting the Corps north flank. It was further directed that all cities, towns and villages within the assigned divisional area be periodically checked and cleared of enemy stragglers.
The assembly area assigned to the division was generally in the vicinity of Nieder Mendig. Operations Memo 33 was accordingly issued at , allocating major unit assembly areas and assigning tactical responsibilities. CCB was directed to maintain contact with the 2nd Infantry Division to the north and to protect the Corps north flank. CCA continued to occupy Andernach and maintained routine patrols along the river front throughout the first half of the day. Periodic contacts were made with the 4th AD on the south flank.
Elements along the Rhine River were relieved by the 6th Cav Gp at Plans for withdrawal of troops to the designated assembly area were perfected. CCB maintained contact with the 2nd Inf Div on the north. Maintenance and rehabilitation were initiated.
Groupment Davitt continued t support the Rhine River defense operation, firing approximately rounds on targets of opportunity. Div Arty less st AFA Bn moved up into position to coordinate and reinforce the defense with two additional battalions. Contacts were established with 55th AIB and 22nd Tk Bn preparatory to assuming jurisdiction over these troops. Information receive from adjacent units began to show the pattern for the Third army operation to follow.
Contacts with the First Army on the north were solidifying from the Kyll to the Rhine. Expansion of the Remagen bridgehead showed no heavy pressure on the south flank which might have indicated a supplementary crossing of the Rhine in the vicinity of Andernach. To the south a large pocket between the Moselle and the Rhine separating he Third and Seventh Armies remained to be liquidated before the Rhineland Campaign could be called complete. The 11th AD planned and prepared for what was sure to be a significant part in this operation.
The 11th AD was directed to remain in Corps reserve and to reconnoiter routes and prepare plans to repel any counterattacks within the Corps zone or from the north flank. Divisional units were principally engaged in rehabilitation and maintenance activities. CCB completed movement into its area and opened its command post at Ober Mendig. Enemy aircraft were active in the area during the period but no casualties were received. Major unit control over all troops assigned 14 March was made effective at In conformance with the Corps order received earlier in the day, verbal orders were issued charging CCA with responsibility for repelling any counterattacks in the Corps zone, and CCB with responsibility for repelling all possible counterattacks from the north flank.
The 5th Inf Div was mopping up following the 4th AD. The 90th Inf Div on the left and the 89th Inf Div on the right had small bridgeheads over the Moselle River established. The th Inf Regt of the 89th Inf Div was placed under operational control of the Division for close follow-up purposes.
In order to carry out this plan, it was necessary for the 11th AD to move forty km to the south that night to an assembly area near Lutzerath and Buchel. At major unit commanders were verbally warned of the general plan and a march order issued. Confirming verbal orders, Operations Memo 36 was issued at outlining the plan for the river crossing and attack.
The zone of operation assigned the Division for its second breakthrough to the Rhine was from 20 to 25 km wide. The Nahe, Glan, and Alsenz River lines were assigned as intermediate successive objectives. Based on an estimate of he situation, two axes of advance were chosen, along which the entire Division was to be employed in a balanced block formation.
From map reconnaissance, the routes chosen were designed to allow for mutual support, and followed ridges, avoided villages, and favored a firm footing wherever practicable. CCR was directed to be prepared for clearing bypassed areas and to protect the exposed Division south flank. The th Rgt was directed to advance along both axes as above specified, prepared to op up bypassed areas, or to seize and secure critical intermediate river crossing points.
A detailed traffic control plan, coordinated with the 89th Inf Div, was set up to insure unimpaired movement across the Moselle River at the Bullay Bridge. To streamline the Division during the breakthrough, major units were directed to allow A Trains only east of the Moselle River, with B Trains prepared to follow on order. The march to the Lutzerath-Buchel assembly area was initiated at CCA led out, after the column had been strafed by enemy fighter bombers while forming.
The Division command post, following, left Nieder Mendig at The night march was impeded by extreme darkness, heavy countermarching military traffic, narrow streets through towns, and steep grades through the Endert River canyon. CCA coiled for the night near Driesch with the command post opening there at The balance of the Division was still en-route at the close of the period.
The Division command post opened at Lutzerath a Staff liaison with the 89th Inf Div was established at To insure a smooth flowing river crossing, the Engineers established a radio network and MP guard set-up for traffic coordination and control through the Bullay bridge site bottleneck. At the 89th Inf Div reported that the route to Bullay was clear, and assurance was given that the 11th AD would have road priority through the infantry elements south of the river after Leading elements crossed the bridge at Some traffic delay, due to assembly area regrouping, delayed following elements temporarily, but the whole of the command cleared the bridge by At verbal orders were received from XII Corps not to proceed beyond establishing a bridgehead across the Nahe River without further orders.
On the Division front elements of the German th and th Volksgrenadier Divisions manned a series of well selected roadblock defense positions. Light infantry weapons and some demolitions were available to implement what initially developed into a number of stand and run delaying actions. At verbal orders were relayed down to the Division from Third Army to continue the attack as far as possible that night. First contact was made by CCB at Altay about Reducing a roadblock, the town was passed through to gain the high ground east of the Moselle River valley and break loose through the shallow 89th Inf Div bridgehead.
Lauzenhausen was seized at The command was delayed by a blown railroad underpass and small arms fire near Buchenbeuren shortly thereafter. A long, steep bank, foot cut perpendicular to the axis of advance prohibited maneuver around this obstacle. Supported by artillery and tank fire, dismounted infantry attacked across the obstacle, pushed south to clear the woods beyond, and established a small bridgehead after dark. The remainder of the command started for the bridge at By the trailing elements had cleared.
The head of the column passed through he 89th Inf Div bridgehead and climbed out of the Moselle valley to reach Kappen at without resistance. Kirchberg was approached at where the first resistance, consisting of a defended roadblock and enemy infantry in woods 3 km to the north, held up the advance.
Task Force Ahee deployed, attacked, and by all resistance had been overcome. At the command post opened at Kappel. Patrols were sent south into Kirchberg, and Kludenbach was captured during the night, as trailing elements climbed slowly out of the Moselle valley and coiled for the night in the vicinity of Kappel. B Troop was released to the 41st Cav and an additional attached Combat Engineer Company made available during the day. Div Arty and the 33rd FA Brig, although officially under Division control for concentrated emergency use, to all intents and purposes operated as organic elements of the two major commands commencing with the Moselle River crossing movement.
Div Arty, integrated into the CCB column, and closed at On reaching the high ground east of the Moselle the 41st Cav swung south from the CCB route and initiated an advance along a separate route on the south flank of the Division, seizing Lotzburen at and Wahlenau against light resistance. CCR initiated its river crossing movement at , reached Bullay about , and was still en-route at midnight.
At the end of the period all combat elements of the Division had crossed the Moselle River and were headed for open country beyond the 89th Inf Div bridgehead. Increasing resistance, built around a well organized demolition and roadblock system, varied from isolated sniper activity to scattered heavy mortar, small arms, artillery and anti-tank fire.
This was quickly neutralized by artillery fire and progress resumed over an alternate route to the east, with TF Ahee In the lead. Bypassing a blown bridge at Gemunden, the command reached Gehlweiler at where the direct fire of two mm guns, nebelwerfer, small arms, and mortar fire was encountered. Infantry elements cleared Gehlweiler while tanks neutralized the heavy weapon fire. Continuing the advance, a blown bridge at Gehlweiler was bypassed.
Konigsau was approached at where again roadblocks, a blown bridge, and mortar fire necessitated local action. Kellenbach was entered at against light resistance. Gesenrother was reached at Forcing the enemy to retreat, the command overtook a fleeing German column as it climbed out of the canyon to the south of Rhaunen, destroying 20 miscellaneous vehicles plus several anti-tank and 20 mm anti-aircraft guns.
One hundred German soldiers were taken prisoner. Side-stepping the main canyon road for a ridge route to the SW, Sulzbach was taken at and Griebelscheid at Bergen was seized at against light resistance to place the command on dominating terrain overlooking Kirn and the Nahe River. Bridges over the Nahe River had been destroyed by German demolition squads before considerable retreating enemy troops and transport had an opportunity to cross.
Following up the air strike CCB assaulted Kirn from the SW at to complete the round-up of hundreds of disorganized and demoralized forces isolated there. Meanwhile another air strike was directed against retreating enemy horse-drawn transport columns east of the Nahe River with devastating results.
Tanks and infantry began mopping up in Kirn at and dismounted elements crossed the river, covered by artillery fire, to protect the bridge site for engineer repair work. During the night such forces were relieved by following elements of the attached th Inf Regt. Meanwhile, on the left flank, the 4th AD had assaulted Bad Kreuznach successfully and established crossings over the Nahe River at several points.
The 10th AD, on the right, was reported to have progressed from the vicinity of Birkenfeld across the Nahe also, to Baumholder. To the rear, late in the day, the 89th Inf Div had been ordered to resume its advance, mopping up in the Division zone. Hottenbach was reached at At , the Squadron was blocked temporarily by a blown bridge near Herrstein.
Pushing forward, the Squadron reached the Nahe River near Fischbach at to find another blown bridge. A command post was established at Herrstein for the night. The th TD Bn completed its march across the Moselle to Atlay at and remained in such location with reconnaissance out to the SW for protection of the Division rear throughout the day. Following the major unit B trains, the main Division command post, leaving Lutzerath at , marched to Kirchberg, arriving at The 56th Armd Engr Bn, with attached elements, followed.
Both major commands were equipped with extra bridging material and an additional line company during the day to combat the growing blown bridge problem. Construction during the day soon exhausted much reserve material, however, and urgent requests for additional bridging were made to Corps. In the absence of a release from XII Corps to continue the attack, plans were made late in the evening to gather up the Division along the Nahe River line while the major commands were completing the establishment of a solid bridgehead the following day.
The 41st Cav was directed to attempt lateral contact with the 10th AD at Baumholder. Division Troops were to be moved to Kirn, at least. Division Trains were to come forward to Kirchberg. A 25 km advance had been made by the Division during the day; and undetermined amount of enemy materiel destroyed; and prisoners taken. The German 9th, 79th, and th Volksgrenadier Divisions and two Panzer Divisions were added to the battered units in contact.
Demolished bridges and strong positions on dominating terrain south of the Nahe River indicated that a decisive coordinated defense would be made by the enemy the following day. The 4th AD was assigned the mission of seizing Worms proper and the west bank of the Rhine north of the city. The 90th Inf Div was to take up the attack on Mainz. Corps also specified that the 11th AD would not advance beyond a line between Oberweisen-Kirchheim, Bolanden-Mornheim-Ballheim and Eisenbeg until released by further Corps orders.
The attack was resumed at daylight. Pushing forward rapidly against air strike softened resistance, the spearheading 41st Tank Bn seized Schmidthachenbach at and gained the high ground south of the Nahe River around the west flank of the static enemy defense position. Thus breaking through the last strong position the enemy had time to man or transport to reach, progress accelerated as the exploitation began.
Hundsbach at and Raumbach at were passed through in rapid succession. Meisenheim and the first bridge intact across the Glan river fell at Orders to hold up the attack with a view toward assisting CCA were received as the leading elements entered Gangloff at Approximately 1, German troops, principally from the nd VG Div, were overtaken in this locality and a request made for assistance in handling them. On assurance that CCA was fording combat elements until a bridge across the Nahe River could be constructed, CCB was ordered to resume the attack at With several air strikes adding to the destruction and confusion of other rapidly retreating enemy columns the hard-pressed enemy found no time for manning roadblocks or demolishing further bridges.
Pushing ahead over side ridge roads the town of Nusbach was seized at and Rudolph-Kirchen fell at Rockenhausen on the Alsenz River was seized and cleared at , a second intact bridge and the locality secured, and the command commenced to coil for the night. Small forces were dispatched at daylight in an effort to seize crossing sites over the Nahe River. A combat patrol was sent east along the north bank of the river as far as Sobernheim by but this bridge was also blown before it could be secured and intense mortar and small arms fire was encountered at the crossing site.
Meanwhile, the bulk of CCA was engaged in the reduction of an enemy pocket still holding out in the vicinity of Rohrbach. On learning of the attachment of the 1st Bn of the th Combat Team, this element was committed against the Rohrbach pocket and the column moved forward to Simmern. About pressing orders for progress were relayed to the command. Artillery neutralized the heavy mortar fire encountered.
Infantry crossed the river mounted on tanks. The TF fought its way down the Nahe river valley through the enemy main defense line at Herxheim and advanced up and out of the valley to the SE, encountering considerable direct fire from AT Guns, small arms, and automatic weapons.
Meisenheim was reached about where contact was established with elements of CCB. At a foot treadway bridge was completed across the Nahe river near Marinstein and wheeled traffic moved forward through the night. On orders from Division at , a fast column of 55th AIB Bn elements was dispatched forward to Gangloff to take over the crippling horde of German soldiers that had surrendered to CCB.
The 41st Cav Rcn Sq, delayed at a necessary ford across the Nahe reached Mittelreidenbach at , and advanced to Sien by Meeting light resistance and capturing numerous prisoners, the Squadron passed through Hoppstaden, reached Kappeln at , Medard at where a bridge across the Alsenz River was secured, and Odenbach at Lateral contact to the south was surprisingly established with artillery elements of the 12th Armd Div near Langweiler at Outflanked and helpless, the remnants of an artillery unit equipped with four mm guns, and four AT guns were captured near Breitenheim at the close of the day.
During the day the 10th AD turned south and no contact was established. Up from the south came the 12th AD, however, elements of which reached Worsbach and turned east during the day. On the north flank, the 4th AD gathered its forces east of the Nahe River and at started an attack through Alzey towards Worms.
CCB of the 4th AD had reached Wendelsheim at to place the leading elements roughly the same distance from Worms as the corresponding major unit of the 11th AD. Overhead, reports from Tactical Reconnaissance flights indicated that all bridges across the Rhine in the Division zone were blown. In order to maintain constant contact with XII Corps the Division command post was retained in Kirchberg during the day.
An advance party prepared Meisenheim for occupancy. The hoped for release to continue the attack all the way to the Rhine did not materialize. Information was developed from XII Corps that the restraining line would not be lifted until a clear-cut lead over the 4th AD could be established, or further progress coordinated with the 4th AD advance.
An ordered Bailey Bridge did not reach Kirn until An estimate of completion by was not met. Close share Copy link Alcohol inks have burst into popularity as a choice medium for their expressive colors and beautiful flow. However, if you're just getting started with alcohol ink, you might notice that they're a little difficult to control. Even on a non-absorbent surface, such as Yupo paper, alcohol ink requires particular methods for blending and layering until you get the effect you want.
Use an Alcohol Blending Solution Alcohol blending solutions is a required tool for opening up new possibilities for how your alcohol ink looks and blends. Don't worry, though, it's not always necessary to buy blending solution, you can easily make some at home in addition to using your isopropyl alcohol for blending.
Isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol or surgical spirits, is essential for diluting fortunately you can get it inexpensively at the drug store. DIY Alcohol Ink Blending Solution Combine the same rubbing alcohol that you use to dilute your ink with a few drops of liquid glycerin.
The glycerin in the case slows the drying period and enhances the bleeding effect between the two inks that you're blending. If you're mixing your own Blending Solution, we recommend trying out a few different ratios, to see what works best with the effect that you're trying to achieve. How to Use You Blending Solution To use your blending solution, you can apply it directly onto the yupo paper.
Spread it by tilting the paper and using a tool, such as a chop stick or other straight skewer, to spread it over the area where you wish to blend the ink. Drop the ink colors that you wish to blend onto the paper. Then, tilt the paper to spread the ink, and use your tool to guide the ink to the paper's edges. Keep in mind that using a blending solution or rubbing alcohol will dilute and spread the ink and therefore cause the colors to dry a little lighter than the full strength would have been.
Use Rubbing Alcohol to Dilute Ink Rubbing alcohol is one of your more versatile tools for when it comes to painting with alcohol ink. You can use it to dilute the ink so that it takes on a lighter transparency, for a layer blending or glazing effect. More than that, though, rubbing alcohol is useful as a medium for your painting, similar to role that water plays in watercolor. This becomes very important for blending two shapes together, particularly if one if still wet and the other dry.
When you apply a wet ink next to a dry one, you will see a very hard line between the two shapes. To blend these two inks together and dissolve the line, use a brush dipped in rubbing alcohol. This will reactivate the ink. Using the brush, you can rub out the line, and you'll find that the two colors have blended together into a new color. Some of them, however, do also have dyes that then blend together, such as chameleon pens.
While a pen loaded with clear isopropyl alcohol will help you to have more control when blending the colors present on your paper, using a self-blending alcohol ink pen will allow you to make gradients as an extra layer on your design.
You can also make your own controlled blending pen using a water brush or refillable felt tip. Fill the reservoir with isoprpyl alcohol or blending solution, then squeeze out small amounts of solution as you blend.
