The following came from Patricia Haury of France --
I know all the places where the combats took
places in Baerenthal and the region in 1945 because my father was born in
Baerenthal. Often I visit the place, near Reipertswiller where the 1st 157th
RIUS was encircled by the SS. My father saw all the dead American soldiers
there. An army soldier,
Arnold Hawvermale
fell into an ambush near SCHWARZENBERG, and my father found him against a tree.
This tree is more then 100 years old and is still there. My father always has
that image imprinted in his mind, all those young Americans that died for the
liberation of France. Thank You."
