THE TERRIBLE BATTLE OF HURTGEN FOREST "THE LONGEST SINGLE BATTLE THE U.S. ARMY HAS EVER FOUGHT.

By

 


The Battle of Hürtgen Forest  was a series of battles fought from September 19 to December 16, 1944, between American and German forces on the Western Front during World War II in the Hürtgen Forest, a 54 sq mi area about 3.1 mi east of the Belgian–German border. It was the longest battle on German ground during World War II and is the longest single battle the U.S. Army has ever fought.


The Germans fiercely defended the area because it served as a staging area for the 1944 winter offensive, the Battle of the Bulge. After several heavy setbacks, the Allies failed to capture the area, and the Germans successfully held the region until they launched their last-ditch offensive into the Ardennes on December 16 and ended the Hürtgen offensive.


 The US Army suffered over 33,000 casualties. In the end, Hürtgen Forest was of little strategic value and the fierce battles that took place were overshadowed by the American victory in the Battle of the Bulge.
