Radscheid 18/12/44 06h00: General Jones thought that if his two encircled regiments pushed west, they would escape from the encirclement and help destroy enemy units around St. Vith. The order took 2 hours to reach the 423rd. Descheneaux, upon reading the order had these words « My poor soldiers will be cut to pieces!« . The two regiments, despite communication problems, decided to move at dawn.
The weather was terrible, fog and rain. The infantrymen had to advance painfully on narrow forest paths. Boyd Rutledge, D Coy / 422nd reported, « There was no road and we were advancing through the forest. We reached our attack positions at 1am after 9 hours of walking in the dark. We traveled 20 to 30 km in mud and snow, but actually only 5 km in a straight line. On the 423rd side the 2nd Battalion lead the march followed by the 1st and 3rd following the Halenfeld-Radscheid-Schonberg axis. At midday the 2nd Battalion of LtCol. Puett had reached the « Skyline Drive » and immediately received enemy fire. Puett directed his battalion to counter the threat. »

It includes 1 scenario:

• Scenario 3-A: Confusion on « Skyline Drive »
