INSIDE THE BLOODY HURTGEN FOREST - WWII THEN & NOW

The battle of the Hurtgen Forest was the longest battle on German ground during World War II and the longest single battle ever fought by the US Army. It lasted from September 19 to mid-February ‘45. The aim was to push around the city of Aachen and gain control of the Ruhr River...but the battle turned out to be real meat grinder: the German army successfully defended their lines and repelled American attacks until the start of their own last-ditch offensive in the Ardennes, resulting in least 33.000 casualties on US side. In this video we follow a single company of the 8th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division. A series of photographs was taken of the unit when they moved up the line in the Hurtgen Forest on November 18, 1944. The photographer, Leo B. Moran, took some exceptional photographs that are very iconic for the battle's historiography. The photographs are accompanied by footage taken by motionpicture cameraman Richard M. Montgomery. Both men served in the 165th Signal Photographic Company. Thanks to their work, we are able to walk in the footsteps of the 8th Infantry Regiment. This video was published on November 18, 2023, exactly 79 years after the photographs were taken. ---------------------------------- WORK WITH US!
