Still on active duty...
In the early morning of 18 December 1944, the US 'Task Force Mayes' (Major James Mayes), 14th Cavalry Group (Mechanized) were ambushed on the road between Potea...u and Recht in the Ardennes, by the German SS.'Kampfgruppe Hansen', Panzergrenadier Regiment 1 LSSAH who were supported by paratroopers from the 3.Fallschirmjäger-Division, later they posed for the SS-Kriegsberichter among the wreckage after the attack. A couple of German war correspondents arriving at the scene of these events shortly afterward, took some shots that have gone down in documentary history. By this time it seemed that the entire US. Army in the Ardennes was on the verge of collapsing.
