XXI Corps combat engineers were actually pretty late to the fight, only joining into combat in mid-January of 1945. Corp operations jumped off against the remnants of the German offensive Operation Nordwind and then moved under control of French 1st Army. They participated and fought in the battle of the Colmar Pocket, resulting in the encirclement and surrender of German divisions besieged there. The combat engineers were employed against the Siegfried Line defensive network, through which the XXI Corps captured Saarbrucken and followed XV Corps to the Rhine river. The engineers forced the assault across the Rhine, after which the Corps captured Wurzburg and finally Schwienfurt after a massive five day battle against determined German defenses. The Corps fought and captured Augsburg and Bad Tolz before continuing down and into Austria before the war ended.
