Anthony McAuliffe
Anthony Clement "Nuts" McAuliffe (July 2, 1898 – August 11, 1975) was a United States Army brigadier general who earned fame as the acting division commander of the 101st Airborne Division troops defending Bastogne, Belgium, during World War II's Battle of the Bulge.
After the Battle of the Bulge, McAuliffe was promoted to Major General, and given command of his own division, the 103rd Infantry, which he led from January 1945 to July 1945. On 3 May 1945, the 103rd captured Innsbruck in the Austrian alps, continued on to take the Brenner Pass, then earn the honor of joining the Italian and Western European fronts, linking up with the U.S. Fifth Army which had been fighting its way north up the Italian peninsula at Vipiteno, Italy.〔Fifth Army History • Race to the Alps, Chapter VI : Conclusion () "4 May; the Reconnaissance Troop, 349th Infantry (Division ), met troops from (Infantry Division ) VI Corps of Seventh Army at 1051 at Vipiteno, 9 miles south of Brenner."〕
