Bardenberg, Germany 1944-10-11 (14 others)

Overview:

The battle to close the gap between the US 30th and 1st Infantry Divisions and thereby encircle Aachen continued, but the American offensive was being met with stiff counterattacks. General Hobbs of the 30th, who had been so confident three days before, no longer felt optimistic about his chances of closing the gap. By now he had lost 3000 riflemen (about a third of his combat troops), and his weary men were running into ever increasing trouble. On the same day that the USAAF began its massed attacks on the city, the reserve 120th Infantry Regiment-which had taken Bardenberg without opposition the day before, suddenly found itself trapped by a battalion of the 108th Panzer Brigade, which had infiltrated the village seemingly out of nowhere.
