HATERT BRIDGE
504/82 that had fought here on the morning of the 18th and pulled out after beating the german garrison
had to now come back and recapture the sector from KG
Fustenberg. The battle played out almost identically
to the one fought in the morning, the allies secured the west side of the river before trying to get over the
bridge. The germans held the east side with the support of an MG34 shooting down the whole lenght of the
bridge. Parts of the bridge fell to enemy hands, but
KG Fustenberg should be able to hold their side of the
river with ease.
German losses - 0
Allied losses - 11
