Battle of Heilbronn (1945)
The Battle of Heilbronn was a nine-day struggle in April 1945 during World War II between the United States Army and the German Army for the control of Heilbronn, a mid-sized city on the Neckar River located between Stuttgart and Heidelberg. Despite the impending end of the war, the battle was characterized by very firm German resistance and the presence of various Nazi Party auxiliaries among the regular German troops. Following days of house-to-house combat, troops of the U.S. 100th Infantry Division captured Heilbronn and the U.S. VI Corps continued its march to the southeast.
==The German situation==
Presence of the ''First Army''’s only remaining battleworthy division, the ''17th SS Panzer Grenadier'', plus imposing river obstacles, gave real substance to the new German line along the Jagst-Neckar crescent. In addition, the ''First Army'' commander General Foertsch had managed through prodigious efforts to accumulate a sizable conglomeration of other troops—two battalions of an engineer school, several regular engineer battalions, replacement artillery and antiaircraft units, Volkssturm, a few tanks and assault guns, and a miscellany, including several hundred Hitler Youth, belonging to the combat commander of Heilbronn. These troops and remnants of four divisions, plus the panzer grenadiers, were all subordinated to General Bork’s〔''Generalleutnant'' Max Hermann Ferdinand Bork, 1 January 1899 - 4 July 1973, served in various staff positions before commanding the ''47. Volksgrenadierdivision'' in September 1944, and finally the ''XIII. Armeekorps'' on 31 March 1945. Captured near Salzburg and remained a POW until 1 May 1948.〕 ''XIII Corps''. Loose ends of two other divisions, including the ''2d Mountain Division'', were positioned on the north wing of Beyer’s ''LXXX'' Corps and thus might be used to help defend Heilbronn.
