Road to the Meuse – Histrocore

The German drive through the Ardennes and the US defence of Elsenborn Ridge in December 1944.

Historical background

Germany launched its Ardennes offensive on 16 December 1944. In the north, the Sixth Panzer Army was meant to break through American lines and push towards the Meuse.

US units including the 99th Infantry Division held key ground around Elsenborn Ridge. Their resistance restricted German movement on the northern shoulder of the offensive, and the attackers failed to reach the Meuse.
