Sue, here are some web pages that may be helpful to you. The first is a description of US armored outfits during WWII, and it has info about the armored infantry.

The others have info specific to the 4th AD, and its activity during the War.

In addition, Stanton's WWII Order of Battle indicates the Division crossed the Saale River south of Jena on 12 April 45 to establish bridgeheads over the Zwick Mulde at Wolkenburg the next day, and subsequently withdrew to reserve on 19 Apr 45.
