Article written by Sgt. Robert McBrinn, staff correspondent for the military newspaper Yank, titled “Coblenz was Different.” The article calls attention to the fact that the Third Army capture of the town of Coblenz in Germany represented the second time in the twentieth century that the Third Army had occupied the town. During World War I, the Third Army had also invaded “this German resort on the Rhine.” The article details memories of soldiers and journalists about the major features of the town during the first World War, and about the very different combat experiences in Coblenz during the two wars. Once inside the town, according to McBrinn, “there wasn’t much to remember. The avenues and streets down to the river front were littered with rubble. The city that was once the social center of the occupation army was ground to brick dust in many places, and the German artillery and mortar from across the river were completing the chaos.” The 87th Infantry Division, to which Goetz’s unit was attached, led the attack on the city.
