The border area around Aachen had been fortified with a double line of bunkers, and both the terrain and the weather made things difficult for the Allies.With illustrations throughout, this book focuses on the involvement of the US First and Ninth armies in the six-month fighting, including the hellish fighting for the H rtgen forest.
