Thanks much for this. I was in Company A 51st AIB 4th Armored and was in this breakthrough out of Normandy. The first time I've seen actual halftracks like I rode from Wiltshire England training to Utah all the way to Czeckslovakia on May 8th 1945. We met the Russians there. Then to Hemau Germany army of occupation for about 5 months.
