The story
On the 12th Prüm fell to the 4th Division on the 90th's left. Pronsfeld remained in the enemy's hands, but now a brief halt was called in order that minor redispositions might be made and road conditions improved. For three days the 90th held defensive positions and watched delightedly as the skies cleared and bombers and fighter planes raked enemy positions immediately to the front.
