From September 1944 to February 1945, the US army was engaged in a series of fierce battles with German forces for control of the area around the Hurtgen Forest, which would lead the Allies to the Rhine. The campaign was disastrous and thirty thousand US soldiers were killed or wounded in the encounter.
The U.S. Army regards the Hurtgen Forest as one of the most desperate battles it has ever fought. Flanking the key German city of Aachen, the forest was one of the formidable natural barriers interspersed with German fortifications in the West Wall in September 1944
From September 1944 to February 1945, eight US infantry and two US armoured divisions were thrown into the green hell of Hurtgen: fifty square miles of thick, rugged, hilly woods on the Belgian-German border, full of German soldiers in a deadly network of concrete bunkers.
The butchers bill was high; casualty rates ran to 50 per cent and more for most rifle companies.
The High Command, from the relative comfort and security of their headquarters, miles away from the forest, refused to admit there had been a mistake. Careers, and the pride of the army, were at stake.
More troops were poured in and the slaughter continued, to capture an objective that had long since lost any real purpose.
The Battle of Hurtgen Forest is a classic account of the price fighting men must pay for the prideful blunders of their commanders.
