XIX Corps had pushed it’s way through the West Wall and filtered
into the towns and villages beyond. The various German units retreating from the battle regrouped outside
of Welbenfraus and immediately counterattacked. A mix of armored cars, light recon tanks and leftover
SP guns were all thrown into the assault. Far from being beaten, the spearhead was well organized and well
equipped. The Americans weren’t expecting the attack. They had thought the war would be over by
Christmas.
