Description

On Christmas night, tanks of 2. SS Panzer coming from La Baraque de Fraiture headed for the village and ran into a roadblock of American tanks that they eventually broke through, forcing the American tanks to withdraw. However, the village was retaken the following day by the American troops.(Text source by Guy Blockmans / OPT)
