Elsenborn Ridge Hold The Line

Elsenborn Ridge, Belgium was the only sector of the American front lines where the Germans failed to advance. The untested troops of the U.S. 99th Infantry Division had been placed in the sector because the commanders believed that the area was unlikely to see battle. In a fierce battle lasting 10 days, the German forces had been reduced to an ineffective strength and withdrew. The Americans lost about 5,000 men and German losses are not known which include significant number of armored tanks and vehicles that could never be replaced.
