	Chapter II: The XII Corps Crossing of the Moselle
		River the armor would become involved in negotiating a whole series of watercourses, the Moselle, the Mortagne, the Meurthe, and the Marne-Rhin Canal, not to mention various small but impeding tributaries, before the rear of Nancy could be reached.
		The heights of the Moselle Plateau, across the river from the 80th Infantry Division, were crowned by remains indicative of the historic military importance of the area.
		But once off the river flats infantry and armor advancing toward the east are faced with a series of abrupt ascents leading to the hills that crop out of the Moselle Plateau-Mousson Hill to the north, Hill 382 in the center, and the Falaise to the south.

		The Corps commander decided that German strength west of the Meurthe River had been so badly shattered by the 36th Division attack, that now was the time to make an all out push to reach the Meurthe River from St. Die to the north.

		Until the 15th century, the dukes succeeded in keeping a balance between the French Realm and the Holy Roman-German Empire, guaranteeing the independance of their duchy.

		The experiences of the SSS detachment working with the 36th Division comprised two very different phases--the period prior to the crossing of the Moselle River on September 21 and the period of the advance from the Moselle to the Meurthe River.
		Opposition became increasingly fierce as the division approached the Meurthe River in the Vosges region, and the relatively stationary German front became harder to penetrate.
		They attracted less suspicion in enemy territory than men, and although they usually lacked the necessary background for reporting technical data, they were often able to extract otherwise-unavailable knowledge of German military intentions from enemy officers.
