Company F of the 110th Infantry Regiment cleared out a small grouping of Siegfried Line pillboxes in the late afternoon of September 14th. The weary men settled down around the pitted and scarred pillboxes, hoping to spend a quiet night. But just after midnight, the sound of approaching tracked vehicles brought everyone awake. The newly-reconstituted 304th Panzergrenadier Regiment of the 2nd Panzer had been called upon to counterattack, and given some special support in the form of flamethrower-armed halftracks.

The Allied advance from Paris to the Rhine, also known as the Siegfried Line campaign, was a phase in the Western European campaign of World War II. This phase spans from the end of the Battle of Normandy, or Operation Overlord, (25 August 1944) incorporating the German winter counter-offensive through the Ardennes (commonly known as the Battle of the Bulge) and Operation Nordwind (in Alsace and Lorraine) up to the Allies preparing to cross the Rhine in the early months of 1945. This roughly corresponds with the official United States military European Theater of Operations Rhineland and Ardennes-Alsace campaigns.
