242 Infantry Regiment (USA) raced for Weyersheim
While the attack was developing, Colonel Alfred A, McNamee, commander of the 232nd, had been gathering widely dispersed forces for a counterthrust. Orders to General Linden from the Commanding General of the 79th Division were to attack from Weyersheim to Gambsheim with the strongest force he could assemble.
Back at Brumath, loading into trucks to move to their new positions, were men of the Second Battalion, 242nd Infantry. Companies G and F were about to pull out when word of the attack reached them and they turned and raced for Weyersheim.
