442 RCT Battlefield maps

My father plays dominos with his good friend Sus, who was a member of the 442 RCT. They asked me to help find maps of the battlefields he fought in. Mainly the Campaign in the Vosges Mountains in France. The principle mission at first was Bruyeres and then Biffontaine. Their first objective was to take Hill B on the way to Bruyeres. Sus served in Company E, 2nd Battalion, 442 RCT.
I've been searching the net and most of the maps I've found are standard theater/regional types. Any help would be great.
I have found a wealth of info on his unit out there, alot of good reading.
God bless these brave men and all our veterans.

Thanks

Son of a gun. I had a book from my re-enactment unit leader called Lost Battalions: Going for Broke in the Vosges by Franz Steidl.

Excellent maps of the immediate area of operations for the 442 and a little of their surrounding area. I wish I had the book the I'd hook you up with the maps. I'll ask if he happens to have maps though.
