	3rd Infantry Division history chapter 10 part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A preliminary battle to the major offensive that was to obliterate the Colmar Pocket had been waged and won.
		Colmar Pocket, in the big picture, was an irritating little red greasepencilled twist on the lower end of the situation map, only a minor battle-unless one was there.)
		We had learned at Anzio of the invaluable need for coordination between the Cassino and beachhead forces, and if the German defenders of the Colmar Pocket were to be kept from shifting their strength from one dangerous sector to another, repelling individual attacks in sequence, our attack must get away on time.
