Question the use of a geographical stub for this article? The "pocket" was a result of the positioning of the front lines of military forces, not a geographical feature. Geographically, the pocket was situated in the Vosges Mountains and on the Alsatian Plain. W. B. Wilson 23:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
I agree. It was a military designation not a geographical one. Aside, I wonder do we really need all these GPS coordinates? Tswold ( talk) 07:17, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
IMHO this was an operation, and a joint one between the French and Americans. The lead section starts with "The initial French attack against the south flank of the Colmar Pocket". It seems to me that its counter-logical to attack a 'pocket' before it was formed, so maybe the first section should be named "Formation of the Colmar Pocket"?-- mrg3105 mrg3105 21:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Have been doing research for the 28th Infantry Division page. I believe the pic you have of the infantryman enjoying the winter sports in 1945 is of the 198th Infantry Division. Just saying . . . User:JCHeverly 15:13, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
It should be made clear that in replacing French ‘colonial’, meaning ‘coloured’ troops, with Gallic personnel was not racially based. The French command did not require their African soldiers to fight abroad and defend mainland France. General LeClerc remarked that his African troops had superior battlefield discipline. 2001:44B8:3102:BB00:3403:5A1E:1315:989F ( talk) 05:35, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
