December 21st, 1944
6th SS Panzer Army sector
Monschau sector is mainly secured now. Allied forces were apparently redirected South towards Elsenborn where a fallschirmjäger regiment holding it was forced to retreat. The three SS divisions (1SS, 2SS and 9SS) advanced few kilometers. Allied 7th Armoured division came in through Vielsalm to reinforce the St. Vith front. It'll be hard neigh impossible to get through there in timely fashion. 116Pz division is cut off along with Peiper's panzer regiment.
5th Panzer Army sector
Allied combat command occupied Houffalize and cut off 2. Panzer division. Panzer Lehr dashed West but is too short on supplies to conduct any effective attack. Allied 3rd Armoured division appeared North of Gouvy and eliminated any chance of getting 2. Panzer division quickly back on supply. Recently arrived 15. Panzer Grenadier division will move to Bastogne sector rather than Gouvy.
Meanwhile Allied units are creating pressure in Hosingen where I lack troops. 26. Volksgrenadier is badly beating and ineffective as a fighting formation.
7th Army sector
Führer grenadier brigade forced the allied combat command to retreat and then moved South of Ettelbruck. They will eventually move West with 5. FallcshirmJäger.
Positions in the morning of 22nd
Offensive has been a complete failure. Bastogne should have been the target of the
schwerpunkt. I should have concentrated forces there, pocketed Bastogne to not to give in to inevitable costly battle of it and drove West around it. Now I have only two divisions near Bastogne and most of my most effective fighting formations locked in and around St. Vith. Not to mention Patton who is knocking on the door already. Or the weather which is starting to clear...
