7 of 9

from 1944-1945, 0002, First Army (1st Army) album

Unlike the scene in the movie "Patton," it was Gen. Hodges who first met the Russians. The date was 30 April 1945 at Torgau, Germany, on the Elbe River. At right is Maj. Gen. G.V. Baklanov, commanding general of the Soviet 34th Corps. (NARA photo)
