"REMEMBER US WEILER

After the liberation of Luxembourg on September 10th, 1944, the front in the North of Luxembourg stabilized along the road leading from Ettelbruck to Wemperhardt, called the Skyline Drive by the GIs. The villages of Weiler and Wahlhausen were outposts defended by I-Company, 3rd Battalion, 110th Regiment, 28th US Infantry Division, reinforced by an antitank platoon as well as mortar and heavy machine-gun sections.
On December 16th, 1944, Hitler launched a surprise attack with 240,000 German soldiers against the 83,000 US soldiers holding the front from Echternach (L) to Monschau (Germ.). It was the Battle of the Bulge and was intended to reach the port of Antwerp (B) within three days, to split the British and US troops and to force the Allies to an armistice. The stiff resistance of the US defenders thwarted that plan and allowed General George S. Patton Jr. to liberate the encircled town of Bastogne (B) on 26th of December 1944 and to attack the Germans at the southern flank.
The garrison of Weiler resisted the aggressors on December 16, until it ran out of ammunition. The same day, in Wahlhausen, Lt. Fisher ordered friendly artillery fire on his own position in order to stop the German advance. In the following night Company commander Captain Floyd K. McCutchan retreated with his troops to Consthum, 3rd Battalion's headquarters. Many of them were killed or made prisoners of war by the pursuing Germans. Only a few reached Consthum.
During this battle a large part of the North of Luxembourg was destroyed."
