    The Germans launched Operation Nordwind to take advantage of light American defenses. Initial German attacks made small gains despite numerical superiority. Reinforced overnight, the Germans continued attacking the following day against elements of the 44th Infantry Division and supporting units. Elements of the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division spearheaded the attack but were met by stiff American resistance, including counterattacks. By the end of the second day, the German offensive had lost momentum.

    A BREEZELESS DAY

    ASL SCENARIO AP3 Scenario Design: Brian Youse


    GROS REDERCHING, FRANCE, 2 January 1945: Operation Nordwind was
    launched to take advantage of the thin front offered by the American Seventh
    Army. The Seventh was covering the positions that had been occupied by Pat-
    ton’s Third Army, now deployed in the Ardennes. Initial thrusts by the attacking
    XIII SS-Korps were poorly led and gained minimal ground even though they out-
    numbered the defending GIs. Reinforced overnight by the 17th Volksgrenadier
    Regiment and the 36th Volksgrenadier Division, the XIII SS-Korps continued its
    attacks the following morning.
