Overview:
For the American 30th Infantry Division, Operation PLUNDER commenced on 24 March with a relatively quiet crossing of the Rhine. The division’s first main objective, the village of Spellen, was quickly taken by two of its regiments which attacked the German defenders from opposite directions. In the early morning of 25 March, 30th Division moved eastward, now in mutual support with light tanks and tank destroyers. They met only modest resistance from scattered German rear guards, and the lead units made good progress. The division’s three regiments now separated to assault different targets. Gahlen, a village centered on the axis of advance, was tasked to the 119th Regiment.
