Was the 165th Engineer Combat Battalion involved in the Battle of the Bulge?
They were in Nordwind, the German offensive south of the Bulge near Strasbourg in Alsace. They were still working primarily as the combat engineer battalion assigned to Gen. LeClerc's 2nd French Armored Division, as they had been since arriving in Normandy with Patton's Third Army in late July/early August. After the liberation of Paris, they were assigned to Gen. Patch's 7th Army and took part in the liberation of Strasbourg, the Vosges Campaign, etc. 7th filled the wide gap in the Allies' lines when Patton raced north during the Battle of the Bulge. January-March were hard months for the 165th and 7th Army. The 165th lost a number of men, though they did not have to man the line as infantrymen as they had done earlier north of Paris, at least to my knowledge.
A bulge loop is a structural feature found in RNA molecules, characterized by a loop that contains one or more unpaired nucleotides, or a bulge, which protrudes from the double-stranded regions. This configuration allows for flexibility and can play a crucial role in RNA folding, stability, and function. Bulge loops can influence the binding of proteins and other molecules, thereby affecting the RNA's biological activity. They are important in various processes, including gene regulation and the formation of ribozymes.
