| 2 | Orders were received for 185 INF BDE to take over the southern half of this right flank protection position from the US Airborne Div. and the battalion was to be at one hour's notice to move. However, the 85 US Airborne Div. wished to put in an attack to straighten their line between the Meuse and RIETHORST before 185 INF BDE took over the area; this operation was to take place the next day, so the battalion remained in the concentration area all day and night. |
