Hello,
I am researching the US 8th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division, particularly during the Rhineland Campaign of 1945.
I am very interested in the engagements near Sprendlingen, St. Johann, and Wolfsheim, on March 18, 1945. C Company, 8th Tank Bn. lost about half their numbers during this action. C Company was most probably engaged by 88mm guns which were concealed near a hill between the towns of Sprendlingen and St. Johann.
I am also looking for information on action near Wolfershausen, on the Werra River, on March 31, 1945. I do not know if there was a significant engagement here, however, my uncle, who was a bow gunner in C Company, was severely wounded near Wolfershausen. It is quite possible that his tank fell victim to a panzerfaust.
I am quite interested in the German units that were operating in this area. Who were they, how were they equipped, what happend to them? I most certainly do not want my research to be one-sided.
If anyone can help me out., or direct me to further information, I would be most grateful. Thanks.
James
