Frame 2

September, 1944. Patton’s 3rd Army was across the Moselle River in the vicinity of Nancy, but the Germans
launched a series of powerful armored counterattacks to restore the situation and crush the over-extended
U.S. spearheads of 4th Armored Division. The 21st Panzer Division and 15th Panzergrenadier Division were
thrown into the attacks. To stave off the Germans, troops were stripped from uninvolved units, leaving Combat
Command A (CCA) of 4th Armored Division isolated near Arracourt and dangerously weak.
