Dom Bütgenbach, Belgium 1944-12-22 (31 others)

Overview:

DOM BÜTGENBACH, BELGIUM, 22 DECEMBER 1944: The reserve of the 12.SS-Panzerdivision “Hitlerjugend”, the 26.SS-Panzergrenadierregiment, finally had negotiated the poor roads and traffic jams along the German line of communications and arrived in Büllingen, ready for its first commitment in the offensive. Shortly after day broke on 22 December patrols from the 26.SS-Panzergrenadierregiment commenced to probe at the American 2d Battalion, 26th Regiment’s lines. The fresh German regiment, however, set out to vary the unsuccessful headlong tactics previously employed by striking at the flanks of the Dom Bütgenbach position. The first probing assaults, shortly before 10:00, were carried out by panzergrenadiers supported by Jagdpanzer IVs through a gap between Companies A and K, on the right of the 2d Battalion lines. The Germans were able to penetrate the lines but Jagdpanzer IVs out distanced their accompanying infantry and were soon knocked out by bazooka teams. The Americans were able to shift reserves and close the gap and by the end of the day the situation was well in hand
