German Forces Drive 20 Miles Inside Belgium
German forces pushed 20 miles into Belgium as Allied fronts faced tensions on the northern and control lines.

Allied air power and recent bombardments at Avranches offered counterweight, while Western casualty figures from November showed heavy losses. Berlin reports warned of renewed German artillery intensity and a German review claimed Allies suffered daily losses while the U.S. Ninth Army achieved marginal gains in the west.
