On April 30, 1945, the US Seventh Army captured Munich in Germany. They were promptly congratulated by Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force on the destruction of the "Cradle of the N**i Beast." On May 3, 1945, the second battalion was in Thalham. In the following days we advanced at a slow pace through streams of German soldiers who walked slowly to Munich or simply lay along the Autobahn. From time to time we encountered occasional gunfire, a symbolic backlash from a dying regime. At other times there were more armed German soldiers moving north than paratroopers from the 506th going south. As we drove into Bavaria as quickly as possible, literally thousands of Germans clogged the highways. American and German soldiers exchanged curious looks. I am convinced that both armies thought the same: leave me alone, I just want the war to end so I can go home. That evening we received a message that we would go to Berchtesgaden at 9:30 the next morning. The regiment ordered us to bring extra ammunition and rations.

Major Richard (Dick) Winters, 101st Airborne Division.
