At dawn on December 16, 1944, the greatest American battle of WWII began. In an attempt to forestall the inevitable, German forces launched a major counterattack against US forces in the Ardennes. The task of forcing a crossing of the River Our fell to the 5th Panzer Army. Facing them was the 28th Division, a former Pennsylvania National Guard unit which had already earned good marks at Normandy. With only three regiments to hold a 25 mile wide front, they managed to stave of the LVIII Panzer Corps for a vital 24 hours. This delay would prove fatal to the LVIII Panzer Corps.*
