Iron Grip (BC-4)

The wooded hills above Reipertswiller, Germany, January 18, 1945: 
Colonel Felix Sparks' 3rd Battalion was situated at the point of 
the Bitche Salient and since January 11th had been subjected to 
continous punishment at the hands of the 6th SS Gebirgsjager Division. 
The 6th SS were "the best we ever ran into, extremely aggresive and 
impossible to capture" according to Sparks. "There was no driving 
them out, for they fought 'till they were killed." With a series of 
well executed attacks by January 16th, the 12th Gebirgsjager Regiment 
succeeded in encircling most of the 3rd Battalion as well as supporting 
companies from the 1st and 2nd Battalions. Cut-off from the rest of the 
Regiment, with cassualties mounting and only the barest minimum of 
ammunition and medical supplies, the situation was grave. Colonel Sparks 
decided to mount a counter-attack with armored support to evacuate the 
wounded.
