Flavigny-sur-Moselle (French pronunciation: ​[flaviɲi syʁ mɔzɛl]) is a commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in north-eastern France. On 10–11 September 1944, the bridge across the river Moselle near the commune was the site of a fierce battle between American soldiers of the 134th Infantry Regiment and German soldiers of the 15th Panzergrenadier Division.[3]
