In a desperate bid to break out of the ever-tightening American stranglehold, Peiper decided to mount an attack toward Borgoumont, using the remainder of his precious fuel to give renewed mobility to several of his panzers. Before dawn, SS panzergrenadiers had moved to a forward position in and around the villas of Les Tcheous, with orders to await an armored force scheduled to jump off at about 1000 hours. As the German advance commenced, it was quickly spotted thanks to the thin mist now prevailing over the battlefield – and within minutes, shells of all sizes rained down upon them.

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.
