Overview:

Colonel LaParde and Major Desobry made re-taking the high ground their objective. Three tanks would strike northward, along the Houffalize road and four would attack eastward toward the high ground west of Bourcy. With these tanks would go one and half platoons of infantry in support. Between these two armored groups would be the main body in the form of LaParde's paratroopers, spread over the middle ground. The attack would spread tanks and soldiers out fanwise as they left Noville and headed for the nearby ridges. At the time the attack was to kick off the Germans were continually pounding Noville with shells, a scene of blazing buildings and vehicles. Nevertheless, the attack jumped off at 1430 hours.

Defender: German (2nd Panzer Division)
