Patton’s Third Army Opens Saar Crossings in Offensive Push
The Third Army under Lt Gen George S Patton stormed the Franco German border near Sarreguemines and Saarlautern, forcing four more Saar crossings on a 50 mile front. Maj Gen Paul W Baade’s 35th Infantry stormed Sarreguemines after a seven mile dash, as German resistance buckled under American pressure. Across the Saar, Berlin reported bloody hand to hand fighting near Saarluern with U.S. bridgeheads established in the Saar basin. The First Army repulsed three German counterattacks near Bergstein, while Ninth Army activity around Barcerath slowed. The new crossings grant Patton six to seven bridgeheads across the Saar between Saarbrucken and Merzig, widening the breach of the German defense line.
