As the last ditch effort to keep Patton's 3rd Army from entering Germany the Germans dug in near Nenning and were ordered to hold the Bridges across the Mosel until engineering units could destroy them.Initially the German defensive perimeter is assigned to 476th Infantry Rgt with two Artillery Battalions attached in the right bank of the river. Then, the first US effort from the other bank of the Mosel river was done by two Regiments of the 94th Infantry Div: 376th Rgt seized Wies and after the 302nd Rgt seized Nennig . The other Rgt: 301st attacked more to right flank, but the map is not available (this unit is not present in the OOB). The two first regiments was supported by elements of 607th and 774th Tank Destroyer Bons and the 81st Chemical Mortar Bon. Historically the Allies captured the bridges and Reenforcements from Pattons CCB moved into Germany where bitter fighting continued through his drive into the Saarland. For historical integrity you will find the bridges undestroyable.
