A German attack from Odeigne toward Grandmenil required the clearing of the village of Freineux. Believing the approach to the bridge over the Aisne River was mined, the Germans split into two groups and forded the river. Three Panther tanks were knocked out before the remaining tanks and a small group of SS infantry reached the outskirts. The battle for Freineux was on.

Freineux, 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.
