For the remainder of 10 January, the Germans focused their efforts on securing defensive positions while aligning themselves for an assault on Rittershoffen via a sunken road originating from the northwest of Hatten. The American counterattack earlier in the day along the main road had failed. A second one, targeting the southern section of Hatten, came later on 10 January.
