94th Infantry Division in Lampaden, Germany; March 3, 1945

"The 3d Battalion, 302d, making a wide turn, pushed forward at 1115 hours on March 1, 1945. Companies I and K were to clear the last of the woods while Company L remained in reserve. Encountering little resistance, the assault companies soon broke into the open and crossed the Zerf-Pellingen road which was the main route into Trier. Through the afternoon the advance continued eastward and by 1830 hours, Company I had taken Lampaden and Company K was in Obersehr. Early the following morning, they moved forward again and by 0837 hours had occupied Hills 9, 10 and 11. During the after- noon Company L was brought forward to Paschel to be within supporting distance of the rest of the battalion." From "History Of The 94th Infantry Division In World War II"
