Baum was given the task of penetrating 50 miles behind German lines and liberating the POWs in camp Oflag XIII-B, near Hammelburg. Controversy surrounds the true reasons behind the mission, which most likely was to liberate Patton's son-in-law, John K. Waters, taken captive in Tunisia in 1943. The result of the mission was a complete failure; of the roughly 300 men of the task force, 32 were killed in action during the raid and only 35 made it back to Allied-controlled territory, with the remainder being taken prisoner. All of the 57 tanks, jeeps, and other vehicles were lost. Don M Fox resides in Florida. He has written on topics as diverse as military history, amateur astronomy, photography, and the restaurant industry.   / pattonsvanguard   Final Battles of Patton's Vanguard: The United States Army Fourth Armored Division, 1945-1946 by Don M.
