Of interest: McMahon was releived shortly after the unit enterd combat in Normandy. Stroh's son (an AAF pilot) was killed in Brittany during a mission supporting his father's troops. This hit Stroh hard, and when the Division was hit hard in the Hurtgen Forest he was sent home for a rest- not relieved. Stroh was later returned to the ETO where he commanded another division at the end of the war.
