Specificatii
The Heroes of Hosingen is the untold story of what happened in the
frontline village of Hosingen, Luxembourg, the last garrison of the
110th Infantry Regiment to fall in the early days of the Battle of
the Bulge. It was here that 300 men would make a historic stand
against an army of up to 5,000 of Hitler's elite Germans soldiers,
supported by as many as twenty superior German tanks at times and
artillery. K Company, under the command of Capt. Frederick Feiker,
Capt. William Jarrett and 125 men from Company B, 103rd Engineers
Battalion, the 2nd and 3rd platoons of M Company (heavy weapons
company for the battalion), 2nd platoon of 630th Tank Destroyer
Company, twenty men from a Raider unit and five tanks from A
Company, 707th Tank Battalion, worked together to make it as
difficult as possible for the German army to move its men and
equipment past the village on their way to Bastogne. These brave
men carried out their Hold at all cost orders until they had
exhausted all their resources, leaving an estimated 2000 Germans
lying dead or wounded in the open fields that surrounded the
village. Abandoned by the division's other units, surrounded and
out of ammunition, food and water, Captains Feiker and Jarrett
waved the white flag and surrendered their units to the Nazis
mid-day on December 18, 1944. Unfortunately, Middleton's Hold at
all cost order had grave consequences as their lives were now in
the hands of their captors. Forced to endure the unimaginable to
survive, eight of Hosingen's Heroes tell their stories of forced
marches for hundreds of miles during the coldest winter on record,
starvation and physical and emotional abuse. It is hard to deny
that these brave men of the 110th earned their place in the history
books. They had tenaciously fought off Hitler's massive assault for
two and half days, sacrificing themselves for time, and in doing
so, some argue helped change the course of the war. Their delaying
actions helped stall the advance of Hitler's army long enough to
allow the 101st Airborne to arrive at and defend the critical
crossroads city of Bastogne on December 18, before the bulk of
Hitler's forces could arrived.
