| Summary: | Map follows Company B from its September 26, 1944 debarkation in Europe through France, Belgium, and Germany until May 8, 1945, V-E Day, the end of the war in Europe. A green line approximates the Company's movements across northern France and Belgium to its first engagement, the Belgium - Holland Campaign (October 23, 1944 - November 8, 1944). Cities and towns liberated are listed along with major landmarks, such as the Mark and Maas Rivers. From here, the Company fought from the 'Siegfried Lin(e to [the] Rhine' November 8, 1944 - March 7, 1945). As with the previous campaign, cities, towns, and major landmarks are listed. After this campaign, Company B and the 692nd were transferred south and fought from France through Germany to Austria (March 18, 1945 - May 9, 1945). During these few months, the Company crossed the Rhine River. When the war ended, on May 8, 1945, the Company was outside Tittmoning, Germany, and spent the next few months on Occupation Duty in Germany and Austria. |
