Bütgenbach 1944 - BBG001 "Grille" (1 Viewer)

[Guy]

On the 16th of December 1944 there was a thick fog in the Ardennes region. The only Rollbahn the Germans were able to gain was Rollbahn "D" to the south of Rollbahn "C". The 1st SS Panzer Division under Obersturmbahnführer J.Peiper took RB"D" into the town of Honsfeld.There he turned to the North(because of heavy damaged roads) to the town of Büllingen to use Rollbahn "C". US troops spotted this move and began to dig in between the town of Büllingen and Bütgenbach.The battle for the town began.By December 22nd the battle for Bütgenbach was over.The "Big Red One" were able to repel the Germans; they defended the town for just over 2 weeks. Peiper disposed of 1 battery of "Grille " self propelled guns nl 6 in total. The diorama shows one of the 6 Grilles perparing to shell the US troops. Hope you like my dio
