The 6th Armored was in the Battle of the Bulge. They were the first to break through the German lines with the 4th Armored following through their successes and getting all the credit and glory for it. Yes this is when the incidents I mentioned took place.

Yes this is when the incidents I mentioned took place. I've always had a special place in my heart for the 4th AD.
"Meanwhile, the three lead tanks kept going and at 1650 First Lieutenant Charles P. Boggess, commanding officer of Company C, 37th Tank Battalion , drove the first vehicle from the 4th Armored Division to within the lines of the 326th Airborne Engineer Battalion, 101st Division, of the Bastogne forces."
