The identifying numbers of the vehicle were <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship" class="extiw" title="en:Censorship">censored</a> for security reasons, making it difficult to identify the unit. They appear to read "20X 20R-1" or "28X 28R-1", which would indicate a vehicle of the reconnaissance troop of the 20th or 28th Infantry Divisions. However, the image is captioned <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.ngb.army.mil/news/todayinhistory/august.aspx">here</a> as showing a vehicle of Troop B, 102nd Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron, which was attached to the French 2nd Armored Division. Both the 102nd Cavalry and 20th Infantry were present at the liberation and in the parade that followed on the 29th. |
