A reception line is formed at the Third Division
officer's club for Gen. Schwartz, commander of the 10th French Military
District in Strasbourg. By mid December, American troops were realigning
around Strasbourg under Eisenhower's directive to tighten the lines and
turn attention to Colmar in the south. The defensive control of Strasbourg
was being transferred to the First French Army.
