Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Volume 4 in the West Wall series. The U.S. Army regards the Hurtgen Forest as one of the most desperate -and longest- battles it has ever fought. Flanking the key German city of Aachen, the thick evergreen forest was a formidable natural barrier made more secure with a network of concrete bunkers that made up part of the West Wall.

The forest's German defenders were battle-scarred and under-strength, but their defenses were well concealed and provided with mines and wire. American infantry and combat engineers slowly fought their way forward in rain and snow, as German shells exploded. American control of the forest was not assured until December, at a cost of over 30,000 casualties.
