Combat Command A and Combat Command B and though I don't think it's mentioned there was Combat Command Reserve. Per Sam, that's the way they broke up armor commands during WWII.

But, but, you just got to Oregon.

Do you realize I've been here 1 and 1/2 years already? Time to move out of the apt to a house!

Combat Command. If memory serves they were an attempt at a combined arms unit.

I read in an obit about Simon Wiesenthal this morning that he was liberated by U.S. troops at Mauthausen, which I'd forgotten. So, the old Nazi hunter was liberated by 11th Armored.

Wiesenthal was an excellent Nazi hunter. Thanks to your reminder we can be thankful to the 11th for him.

Thanks EMB. We really appreciate the current news and pics. Sam used to bring these to us but there just aren't enough hours in the day anymore. The thread itself takes so much time and we have the store to run now...so Thank You!

No problem. I've slacked off on posting the last couple of weeks because I've had a lot going on, but I try to post a few everyday.
