Does anyone know of any scenarios covering the battles for the Losheimergraben Crossroads? (Just over 1km from Buchholz Station). The potential exists to
link the two, esp. concerning the dawn attacks by the 27th Fusiliers on both positions occupied by the 394th Infantry, and the movement of the latter s weapons company and reserves…not to mention the literal “fog“ that threw confusion into that dawn.
IMO, the 394th’s fateful positions on Dec. 16th, 1944 make that day worthy of a series of 4-5 actions.
My sense from the readings I’ve done, is that the historic outcome of that day represents the best result possible for the defenders who delayed the Wacht am Rhein offensive by 24hours.
