His unit made an assault river crossing across the Rhine River in March of 1945. The Rhine River is the border of Germany and the Germans were determined to oppose and push back the Allies but thank GOD the Germans were defeated. Mr. Kongable took part in the liberation of the concentration camp Ohrdruf which was the first camp liberated by the Allies in the West in April 1945.
