During the Battle of the Bulge, the 28-year-old Seitz and his battalion of paratroopers would prove instrumental. Seitz headed "Task Force Seitz" built around his battalion and a company of 7th Armored Division tanks, equipped with some half-tracks, a detachment of engineers, and some self-propelled anti-tank guns. In twin attacks on two days, one after dark and the other in late evening, Seitz sent the Germans reeling back to the village of Hunnange, which was the gateway to St. Vith. In both attacks, paratroopers had to cross long stretches of open ground. With all guns blazing and with massive artillery support fire, they locked up the crossroads village then waited in broad daylight for the huge armored assault which came behind them, heading for the next stop, St. Vith.
