Overview:

The American Army was pushing the Germans back towards the Siegfried line, and the Germans were getting much practice at defense along rivers. In Dieulouard, Belgium the Allies pushed across the Moselle River to establish a bridgehead. But the Germans were more fanatic defending near their home, and the fight was tough. They fought to a standstill until Col. Creighton Abrams brought his Shermans over to engage the enemy. The Germans needed to push the Allies back, and the Allies needed to consolidate their hold on the Eastern Shore.

Defender: American (80th Infantry Division and 37th Tank Battalion)
