Allies Push Back German Drive In Belgium and Luxembourg
Allied forces halted and gradually pushed the German offensive on multiple fronts. In the north near Monschay and the Roer front countermeasures began to slow the German wedge, while the Third Army breached the Siegfried Line around Dillingen. The Seventh Army cleared Maginot Forts near Bitche and pressed between Wissembourg and the Rhine as Vosges activity grew. In Belgium and Luxembourg, St Vith and Maspelt areas held with pockets cut off, Echternach surrounded, and ground regained along the Ambleve River as defenses stiffened.
