The story
The 48th Tank Battalion supported by Company F, 232nd Infantry, mounted on tanks, moved out of Ludwingswinkel at 1430 after roads had been cleared of mines by the engineers and attacked north to Salzwoog and then southeast along the Ninterweidenthal-Busenberg road, clearing the
towns of Dahn and Busenberg. In the latter town it captured more than 800 prisoners.
