Overview:
The final phase of the Winter Line campaign opened on 5 January. On the left wing, II Corps offensive involved taking Mount Porchia, just south of Highway No. 6. Task Force A was given the assignment of attacking this isolated hill. The 1st Battalion, 6th Armored Infantry, moved on the afternoon of 4 January to secure its line of departure. The battalion encountered difficulty in clearing the two small rises on either side of the highway. The positions were vigorously defended by the 5th Company, 134th Grenadiers. Losing their positions by 1930, the Germans counterattacked. Until noon of 5 January, the Germans fought to stop the American drive.Attacker: American (1st Battalion, 6th Armored Infantry Regiment)
