Overview:
After six days of fighting, XIX Corps believed they were ready for a quick push to the Roer. Intel showed some units withdrawing, but Merzenhausen would be the most strongly defended town the division would face west of the Roer. Merzenhausen was the key to the enemy's defenses west of the Roer River, protecting the north-south communications link, and they would try to hold every inch of ground in preparation for the Ardennes offensive. The 246th Volksgrenadier Division had been beaten up and was undergoing a relief in place by the 340th Volksgrenadier Division. TF 1/66, with an attached battalion of 30th Infantry Division soldiers and British tanks, attacked before the relief occurred and in their zone ran into elements of the 246th Volksgrenadier Division and LXXXI Corps.Attacker: American / British (1/66 Armored, 2/119th Infantry, 30th Infantry Division and B Squadron, Fife and Forfar Yeomanry)
Defender: German (Volksgrenadier Division 246, Schwewe Panzerabteilung 506, and LXXXI Corps)
