The second day of the battle of the Bulge was underway with the Germans anxious to seize bridges across the Our River. The town of Ouren had two such bridges, defended by a mélange of tank destroyer units, infantry, and artillery. Late in the morning sun, the men of the 112th had finished eating the French toast and bacon the cooks had left behind when a column of panzers and halftrack support drove down the road towards Ouren, intent on crossing the Our.

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.
