« On March 30, the First French Army crossed the Rhine at six points, including Germersheim, south of Spire, under intense fire. On 21 April, it captured Stuttgart, on 24 April Ulm and on 26 April Constance. It reached the Voralberg on 8 May 1945. On the evening of the same day, General de Latte de Tassigny, on the instructions of General de Gaulle, signed the unconditional surrender of the German Reich in Berlin, on behalf of France.
..... Thus, in 8 months and 23 days, the First French Army covered 1500 km, from the Mediterranean to Austria. It liberated a third of the metropolitan territory. It invaded 80,000 km² of Germany; it annihilated two German armies, the 19th and 24th armies. Its victorious action, the fervor, the efforts and the heroism of its soldiers contributed to restore France's rank as a great power. »
*************
(Some attached to the first or second corps, while other divisions at the disposal of the army are NOT directly attached to either corps... well, corps 1, corps 2, well, to make it simple, let's forget it, ok?
1. The “9ème Division d’Infanterie Coloniale” (or “9e DIC”) that is deployed near the Rhine and tasked to move south through first a plain. First goal: capture the city of Freiburg!
2. The “4ème Division Marocaine de Montagne” (or “4e DMM”) and the “1ère Division Blindée” (or “1re DB”) deployed at or near Freudenstadt. They are tasked to move south (though the forest mainly), to cut two German forces into two parts… First goals: capture Rottweil and Tuttlingen! Or, if one prefers, to reach the Danube!
3. The “2ème Division d’Infanterie Marocaine” (or “2e DIM”) and the “5ème Division Blindée” (or “5e DB”) deployed East of Frendenstadt. They are tasked to move East first. First goal: capture the city of Tübinger!
Then we see some complementary units inside this green box (the one you've selected, I mean - I’ll come to these units into more details very soon):
9e Zv -> Zouaves (regiment)
C.C. -> tanks (regiment)
Spahis (regiment recon)
Lebel (regiment tanks)
Choc (regiment size)
4. The very last part of these 4 maps shows the Free French reducing some pockets of German resistance, and there we see as well the “14ème Division d’Infanterie” (or “14e DI”) put into action… As well as the Goumiers, but, well, we may neglect them this time!
Now, if you wish to add the Goumiers, you had on overall 3 Groupements, the “1er Tabor Marocains” and the “4e Tabor Marocains” (attached to the second French army corps, so they could very well stay outside of our green box), AND the “2e Tabor Marocains” attached, this one, to the 2e DIM that IS on our battlefield… but this division starts very in the North of our green box and it’s known that, from time to time, units have been sent elsewhere… Besides, we’ve already a cool extra unit for the 2e DIM (we’ll come back to this latter in due time). So, we could do without them… it would be perfectly plausible!
=> Anyway, the good point is that we may involve this French division as well, which means a total of 6 French divisions in this sector (plus various elements) against a total of 6 German divisions in this same sector (plus various elements as well)… so, the fight should be equilibrate, like this!
