The actions included in the records thus far are:
  • August 1944: Beaches to Chartres to Melun to Verdun, France
  • September 44: Verdun to Metz and the Moselle River, France (These are hospital Interviews, not combat interviews. Thus they also have information about August 1944.)

  • December 1944: the defense east of and in St. Vith Salient, at Krombach, and at Manhay, Belgium
