The battle of the Hürtgen Forest
During the autumn and winter of 1944 and 1945 the longest battle of the
war on German soil took place in the Hürtgen Forest. The Allies pushed into the rough and unfamiliar
terrain in order to secure their advance towards the Rhine, and encountered a
resistance from the German forces they underestimated.
