The Battle of Würzburg which ended up with the capture Upper Franconia by 42nd Infantry Division .
The defense of Würzburg, under the leadership of Otto Hellmuth and military leadership of the Wehrmacht colonel Richard Wolf, represented the first serious resistance to the American division after crossing the Rhine due to Hitler's orders to put up fierce resistance. After Hettstadt to the northwest of Würzburg had fallen to American forces, the German forces were forced to fall back to the right bank of the Main River since reinforcements did not arrive as they were expecting.
