Attack of a River Line: An Infantry Division River Crossing
This work deals with an Infantry Division river crossing action. As back ground information, two preliminary attacks are also included. During the months of September and October, 1944, the 80th Infantry Division had been engaged primarily in what amounted to local attacks. These were exclusive of the Moselle River crossings during the first half of September. Local attacks are never allotted a great deal of space in after action reports, but to, the immediate units concerned they are very important. In addition, they are important to the commander as his plans for a large scale attack may depend on the results of numerous local attacks. Many small unit commanders never knew what part they were playing in the commander's plan but if there is no danger of a violation of security regulations, as much information as possible should be disseminated to these people. When they have an understanding of the mission as a whole, it enables them to see that the actions of their unit may be a key in the success or failure of the entire operation.
