222 Infantry Regiment (USA) passing the border with Germanny
Which infantry unit was the first across the border is a matter of dispute. The honor is claimed by both the 3rd Battalions of the 242nd and the 232nd Infantry Regiments. On the basis of their own claims the 3rd Battalion of the 232nd won the race by four minutes for it reported crossing the German border near the town of Husselkopf (BtN:not known) at 1434 while the corresponding battalion of the 242nd says it crossed the border at 1438.
