Introduction |
---|
The cold rain of the last month had finally turned the battlefield into a quagmire. Wheeled vehicles could barely traverse the roads while tracked vehicles had become road bound. Even so the greatest hardships were endured by the foots soldiers of both sides who climbed unimaginably steep hills, fought a relentless foe, and the slept fireless in the cold mud. The Nisei battalion's original commander, Lt. Col. Farrant L. Turner, was relieved of duty. His replacement, Maj. James L. Gillespie, had the same orders: continue the advance. |
Conclusion |
---|
With grit and determination, and in spite of the awful conditions, the Americans managed to oversee the defenses of Ciorland. The Germans fled further north, but only far enough to regroup. Hopefully the muck-covered and exhausted GIs were able to sleep in a warm shelter that night for their effort. Regardless, within days they would be back on the offensive. |
