The long file of Kampfgruppe Peiper vehicles, many heavily camouflaged with pine boughs, filled the road north from Trois Ponts, through La Gleize, and on towards Cheneux where advance elements had discovered an intact, undefended bridge over the Ambleve River. The mist and cloud cover had temporarily thinned out, however, and a U.S F-6 aircraft spotted the column. Shortly after the lead German vehicles had crossed the bridge, a swarm of P-47 Thunderbolts appeared overhead. As the SS-panzergrenadiers unloaded and dispersed into the surrounding area, two Whirlwind AA tanks began frenzied defensive fire.

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.
