Hi, my name is Vincent, i live in France.
I'm doing some research about the WWII in Mayenne County, during the summer 1944 (August). I would like to know
if someone of you know the movement, position, and who are the german forces in this area ( Wermarcht, SS...).
With my association, MAYENNE-WW2, we are looking for american soldiers KIA in Mayenne, but we want to know what were the german forces againts the US army.
I have some information about the german in Mayenne county but not enought.
Thank you to your helps and sorry to my poor English !
Regards,
Vini

The bulk of the German forces in Mayenne during the battle were elements of 708. Infanterie-Division and various other rear-echelon occupation forces. I will check the 90th Division's G-2 reports later to see if I can get a better sense of what was encountered by them there.
I would be very interested in what you have found as well since I am writing a book about the 90th Division in the breakout.
Cheers!

Hi
I live near Bagnoles and have concentrated on both the German and American movements along the border of the Foret Andaine from the 13 Aug 44 to about the 18th. Send me an email. I have a fair bit of information.

Resurrect this post to ask any information known about Captain George D. Pieck (USAAF) who is thought to have bailed out of his aircraft and landed behind enemy lines East of Mayenne. Thank you.
