Late on the afternoon of March 30, 1945, the
3AD's Task Force Welborn rolled in from the south (lower left
of photo) and began its ill-fated "short-cut" to Paderborn
through the area indicated above by "Schloss Hamborn"
(Castle Hamborn). Lying in wait for an ambush was a sizable German
force. In the ensuing battle and chaos, as night was falling,
General Rose was killed at the spot "Rose Point" on
the road toward Kirchborchen. |
