THIRIMONT,
BELGIUM, 15 January 1945: By the end of 1944 the German offensive in the Belgian
Ardennes was definitely stopped. But the Allies still had to push
the Germans back behind the Siegfried Line before they could resume
their strike into the Reich. By January 13—eleven days after
it was launched —the counteroffensive had expanded far enough
to the east along the battle line to engage the American 30th
Infantry Division into the fight, with the capture of St. Vith
as a first objective. While its sister regiments were plowing
south over the hills, the 120th Regiment was locked in a bitter
three-day struggle for Thirimont, a ridge village which controlled
the east flank of the attack. By irony of fate, this village was
defended by the 1st Battalion of the 9th Fallschirmjaeger Regiment,
the same unit, whose soldiers so full of confidence, earlier rode
on the tanks of the powerful Kampfgruppe Peiper, and had traversed
Thirimont one month earlier on the way to the Meuse bridges.
