$oldierboy You need to do a better investigation on the 2nd Armored Division in WWII. Shortly after the break out from Normandy the division was split up. Most of the talk battalions were sent south with the 3rd army. Most of the light armored battalions remained with 7th army and went north to Belgium and north of the Maginot Line. As a matter of fact B Co. of the 82nd Reconnaissance was the first allied units into Belgium. So they were either in direct line or north of the Bulge. A good reference is on Facebook 2nd Armored 82nd Recon Battalion Co. B Reenact Unit or 82nd Recon Bn. 2nd Armor Div.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello $oldierboy, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to
Army Men have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of
permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper
paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create
copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see
Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples,
hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to
verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not
original research.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See
Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are
public domain or
compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the
help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see
Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be
blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —
