Abstract: "For nearly five months, starting in mid-September 1944, American GIs battled for the Huertgen Forest, a fifty-square mile tract of extremely inhospitable terrain. Unfortunately for the American soldiers involved, the Huertgen Forest campaign turned out to be one of the deadliest of the war. During its first month, the 9th Infantry Division supported by the 3d Armored Division managed to eke out a gain of only 3,500 yards.
