My mother's cousin was in the 14th Armored Division. He was wounded April 29th, 2945 and died of his wounds May 25, 1945. So close to the end of the fighting.

This is a cool video. How do we know it the guy's from the 14th???? I see alot of carbines. No M-1's in this video.. This goes to show that not everyone had M-1's after the war progressed. It appears that the NCO's were issued Carbines or picked them up where ever they could. I also liked how the guy's with the bazooka cover the rear area of the 75mm. Also there was a guy with a carbine covering the flank. Nice footage.

The video is of a training exercise conducted by a squad of the anit-tank platoon, Company A, 19th Armored Infantry Battalion, 14th Armored Division in February or early March 1945. The location is a small village just south of the Moder River, a few kilometers west of Hagenau, France.

The gun is a 57mm anti-tank gun, not a 75mm.
