Because wikipedia is the first and clearest link that comes up these days for this sort of thing, and because of a fucking ridiculous censoring program pon public computers here that blocks wikipedia, I need some help.

I'm trying to find out which infantry divisions of Patton's 3rd Army entered Czechoslovakia in 1945.

Can anyone send that to me

Patton was planning to take Prague, Czechoslovakia, when Eisenhower, under extreme pressure from the Soviets,[citation needed] ordered American forces in Czechoslovakia to stop short of the city limits. Patton's troops liberated Pilsen, on May 6, 1945, and most of western Bohemia

Hmmm... Maybe.

On the morning of 5 May, Patton's forces advanced. In the V Corps sector, the 1st, 2nd, and 97th Infantry Divisions led the assault...XII Corps attacking at 0600. The 5th Infantry Division advanced up to 11,000 yards through rugged terrain and secured several bridges across the Vltava River. For this attack, the 90th Infantry Division used only one of its three regiments.

Hmm.. Doesn't sound familiar. I could swear grandpa's infantry division was a triple digit number, but I also know it was part of 3rd Army and that he personally ended up in Czecho.

Can the next of kin not request his DD214? That should have his active duty/war history on it. (And someone in the family should have it anyway...it's an important family and historical record)
