The German attack on Bastogne brought SS-Panzer-Division 12 to within 4 kilometers of the city center. The division was ordered to capture Hill 510 to the west of Mageret to provide observation into Bastogne since, from their current positions, they were unable to see any activity there. The only units available for the attack were Kompanie 2 of the Pioneer Bataillon and the Begleit Kompanie with some armor support. After a short artillery preparation, the Germans attacked at 0730.

Mageret, Belgium

The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Ardennes Counteroffensive, was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II, and took place from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945. It was launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in eastern Belgium, northeast France, and Luxembourg, towards the end of the war in Europe. The offensive was intended to stop Allied use of the Belgian port of Antwerp and to split the Allied lines, allowing the Germans to encircle and destroy four Allied armies and force the Western Allies to negotiate a peace treaty in the Axis powers' favor.
