Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Battle of Lanzerath Ridge during World War II was fought on December 16, 1944, the first day of the Battle of the Bulge near the town of Lanzerath, Belgium. It was fought between 18 men belonging to two American reconnaissance squads, four U.S. Forward Artillery Observers, and a battalion of about 500 German paratroopers. During a day-long confrontation, the platoon of Americans inflicted dozens of casualties on the Germans and bottled up the advance along a key route the 1st SS Panzer Division, spearhead of the entire German 6th Panzer Army, which had been selected to make the main effort. The Germans finally flanked the Americans at dusk and captured them. Only one American, a forward artillery observer, was killed, while 14 were wounded. German casualties totaled 92. The Germans paused, believing the woods were filled with more Americans and tanks. Only when SS-Standartenführer Joachim Peiper and his Panzer tanks arrived at midnight, twelve hours behind schedule, did the Germans learn the woods were empty.
