Description
Research photograph of actual World War II combat used by Micky Moore for research on "Patton" (1970). "Seventh US Army forces approach Reich. War machines of the Seventh US Army roll toward the German border which they crossed December 15, 1944 in the area of Wissembourg, French frontier town northeast of Hagonau. The now offensive placed five Allied armies inside the Reich, with the US First, Third, and Ninth Armies and the British Second Army already battling in Germany. The Seventh Army liberated almost all the towns on the French side of the border during their rapid advance in northern Alsace, which brought American troops to the edge of the plain before the Rhine River. From: US Army in France, Vol. 2 (Wetzler Collection). For: Patton, August 26, 1968. Research Library Twentieth Century Fox."
