Battle of Lanzerath Ridge
The Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 9, 3. Fallschirmjäger-Division, is ordered to lead the attack through Lanzerath, clear the village, and advance toward Honsfeld and Büllingen. As they advance south of Losheimergraben toward Lanzerath, they engage Lieutenant Bouck’s 18-man reconnaissance platoon (99th Infantry Division). The American unit holds its position for nearly an entire day, delaying the German advance.
