Well Foy was the westernmost point reached during the Bulge, Khemki the closest anyone got to Moscow.
But neither were the extreme eastern/western point reached by Germans in the war I'll guess that both were by the same division, 2nd Panzer.

Excellent, well done (again) privatehudson! (this is turning into a bit of a private quiz isn't it...?!)Indeed, amazing that 2nd Panzer should be the Division to achieve the deepest penetrations in both Wacht am Rhein and Taifun.

It would be very suprising if the first US casualty in WW2 occurred in August 1942 
He was the first casualty in land warfare in Europe that the Americans suffered in the war.

(This is Che's question, but I'll venture a Ju-52, flying supplies in)

I'll say probably a junker 52, and name? I think it was Marina Raskova....
Olga Yamschchikova of the Red Air Force, became the first woman night fighter pilot to score a kill. On September 24, 1942, she shot down a JU-88 bomber over Stalingrad. Olga was a member of the 586th Fighter Aviation Regiment, an all women unit which during the war flew 4,419 combat missions and shot down 38 enemy aircraft. Nearly a million Soviet women served in the armed forces during the war. Most were volunteers and were replacements for the great number of losses of Soviet soldiers. Only a small portion however were directly involved in actual combat
thats the exact answer, but ya'll can fight over who goes next.
