Introduction
|
|
Nazi propaganda minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels had promised to turn Aachen into America’s Stalingrad, but Gen Gerhard Graf von Schwerin of the 116th Panzer Division, charged with the city’s defense, did not agree. On the 13th of September he drafted an appeal for the humane treatment of all civilians, and issued instructions to hand it to the first American officer entering the city. He expected that to happen the next day, but the Americans had other ideas.

|
Conclusion
|
|
If the Americans had stuck to their original plan, they would have entered Aachen almost unopposed on the 14th. Unfortunately, Gen Clarence Huebner of 1st Infantry Division had convinced his superiors that an urban assault would be too costly, and received permission to encircle the city instead. Heavy fighting developed to the south of the city, and the Americans made slow progress.
