reserve. Roetgen was the first German town under American control; Americans arrived in the village in September 1944. In Roetgen, the men got much-enjoyed visits by the Red Cross Club mobile, with donuts and coffee for everyone. It is here, too; the men got a chance to listen to some tunes by the Andrews Sisters; more importantly, though, the men could ease up, knowing they were safe from German shells. They left Roetgen via truck on January 20th, 1945, and made it to Lammersdorf the same day. They only stayed briefly since that night; the men marched to Rollesbroich. It was a rough stay in Rollesbroich, It was brutally cold, and the large snow drifts made walking difficult. The move from Rollesbroich was made the night of January 28th; the weather was awful; it was bitter cold, and because of the snow drifts, the Company's supplies had to be pulled by sled.

Despite the overwhelming odds, the Company managed to secure seven pillboxes, one troop shelter, an abandoned factory, and roughly 150 prisoners on the record side for the day. The Company stayed at the factory it had captured that evening, January 30. However, nobody slept well that night; Only a tiny portion of the factory could only be used, and in the small spaces, the Company had to take turns
