I'm trying to find out some details about my father's service in WWII--he never talked about it, and he died recently. According to a history of his division, he was among the first 4 Americans in the 1st Army to reach the Rhine, on March 5, 1945.
I've been unable to find any more specifics--many sources reference "the first 4 Americans to reach the Rhine at 04:20 hours" but only the division history ("Spearhead In The West") names the four men.
Thanks in advance for any help.
