Würselen, Germany 1944-10-16 (4 others)

Overview:

After several days of struggle, the City of Aachen-one of the first major towns to be threatened on the Western Front-was now completely enveloped. The veteran US 1st Infantry Division had approached from the south, while the 30th Infantry Division, a National Guard Unit known as "Old Hickory," had done so from the north. Five kilometers north of Aachen, the town of Wurselen was one of the few supply routes still open for the Aachen Garrison. Fighting was particularly fierce in the northern section of town, around the critical rail and road links. The 30th was pushing hard and the panzergrenadiere and panzers from Panzer-Division 116 "Windhund" (Greyhounds) responded to the pressure.

Defender: German (Kompanie 5, Panzergrenadier-Regiment 156, Panzer Division 116 "Windhund" and Kompanie 8, Panzer-Regiment 16)
