The 761st Tank Battalion, referred to as the Black Panther
Tank Battalion, was activated on April 1, 1942, at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana,
and deployed to Europe, landing at Omaha Beach in France on October 10, 1944.
As a result of their
great fighting abilities they spearheaded a number of Patton's moves into enemy
territory. They forced a hole in the Siegfried Line, allowing Patton's 4th
Armored Division to pour through into Germany.
