  ++MISSION BRIEFING++

 

"December 22nd 1944

To the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne.

The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A.

forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong

German armored units. More German armored units have crossed

the river Ourthe near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and

reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompre-Sibret-Tillet.

Libramont is in German hands.

There is only one possibility to save the encircled

U.S.A troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable

surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over

a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the

presentation of this note.

If this proposal should be rejected one German

Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready

to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The

order for firing will be given immediately after this two

hours' term.

All the serious civilian losses caused by this

artillery fire would not correspond with the wellknown

American humanity.

The German Commander."

The American Commander"

 

Mission Summary:

On the morning of December 16, 1944, German Armed Forces launched an attack through the densely forested Ardennes region in Belgium and Luxembourg. The offensive aimed to halt Allied use of the Belgian port of Antwerp and to fracture the Allied lines, enabling the Germans to encircle and eliminate four Allied armies, thus pressuring the Western Allies to negotiate a peace treaty favorable to the Axis powers. To reach Antwerp before the Allies could regroup and unleash their superior air power, German mechanized forces needed to secure the roadways through eastern Belgium. With all seven main roads in the densely wooded Ardennes highlands converging on Bastogne (Bastnach in German), just a few miles from the border with Luxembourg, control of its crossroads became pivotal to the German strategy.

Our role in this operation is to maintain defensive positions to the northwest of Bastogne, resisting German mechanized and armored elements until relieved by Allied forces.

Objectives:

1. Defend the Town of Bastogne from German Counterattack and capture.

1. Defend against German attacks utilizing defensive positions (DP) 1 through 12 towards the northwest for as long as possible or until relieved.
2. Defend the Town for as long as possible or until relieved.
