About the 442nd RCT/522nd Field Artillery Battalion B Battery

" ....their single most infamous engagement occurred in southern Germany around Munich when the men stumbled upon roughly 5,000 prisoners marching through the countryside. Their initial encounter with these thousands of emaciated and mistreated victims of Nazi concentration camps was followed by the discovery and assisted liberation of the Kaufering and Landsberg sub-camps of Dachau..... the specific service of the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion remains far less familiar to most Americans than the service of their parent unit, the 100th Infantry/442nd RCT, .....the U.S. Army awarded the unit a Presidential Unit Citation, adding to the already impressive decorations of the 442nd RCT...
