While the 3rd Battalion, 4th SS Panzergrenadier Regiment attacked elements of the 643rd Tank Destroyer Battalion from the west, elements of the 2nd Battalion attacked the village of Fraiture from the east. The paratroopers of the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment were eating breakfast inside the warm houses of the village of Fraiture when a group of SS panzergrenadiers attacked. The surprised paratroopers did not have time to finish breakfast. The SS panzergrendiers quickly closed in on the paratroopers, taking advantage of unoccupied foxholes.

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.
