just a note: General Bernard Montgomery leads nowhere, while General Bernard Montgomery does.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ugen64 (talk • contribs) 08:18, 12 November 2003.

With French and American forces established ashore in significant numbers, Seventh Army and the French Army B came under the new 12th Army Group headquarters.

Is this true? Because later in the war The 12th Army Group consisted of US First Army, US Third Army, US Ninth Army and US Fifteenth Army. If the Seventh Army and the French Army B were transfered back to the 6th Army group then the word temporary should be added to the sentence. Also what is French Army B'? I thought that only the French First Army was involved in the invasion. Philip Baird Shearer 17:42, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Why the Loop?

Why do the U.S. Seventh Army and U.S. Army Europe articles loop back and forth to each other? If they're separate commands they should have separate articles.

[edit] Wrong date for merger 7th Army & USAREUR

Having been stationed at Hq 7th Army in the 60's I can say that the date of 1961 for the merger of 7th Army & USAREUR is all wrong.

Hq 7th Army was still a separate command until 1967. I left Stuttgart - Vaihingen (Patch Barracks) just prior to Thanksgiving 1966 enroute to VN. The HQ consolidation took place in the spring of 1967.
