Introduction

The North Carolina National Guard's 119th Infantry Regiment was under-strength because one of its battalions had been detached to provide infantry support for the 2nd Armored Division. With the other two regiments of 30th Infantry Division at full strength and well-rested, it was surprising when the 119th was given the job of securing Wurselen.

Conclusion

The plans called for the entire 3rd Battalion of the 119th to attack, with Company L detailed to secure Wurselen. They would receive the support of an entire company of Shermans once they cleared the first crossroads in town. But despite starting less than 1,000 yards away they never reached the crossroads. Company L was stymied in every attempt to move forward, while absorbing numerous casualties. Things didn't go much better for Companies I and K, which inched forward but were unable to seriously threaten the town. Thankfully, they suffered far fewer casualties.
