Overview:

The Second Battle of Kesternich took place from 30 January, 1945 to 1 February, 1945. in this second round, the American 311th Infantry Regiment squared up for its turn against the 272nd Volksgrenadier Division. Over the preceding weeks the Germans had infiltrated back into, and created strongpoints throughout the village. The 2nd Battalion of the 311th was assigned to take Kesternich. As with the earlier attack, operations had to go straight down the center of the village. With ample time to develop their defenses, the Volksgrenadiers had emplaced machine-gun positions in houses and in the rubble, protected by minefields and wire.
