Battle of Clervaux

The Battle of Clervaux or the Battle for Clervaux (in English sources, Clervaux is occasionally called by the German name Clerf)[4] was part of the Battle of the Bulge and took place in the town of Clervaux in northern Luxembourg.[5] It lasted from December 16 to 18, 1944.[5] German forces encircled numerically inferior American forces, primarily from the 110th Regiment and the 109th Field Artillery Battalion, and, after heavy fighting, forced them to surrender. The battle has been referred to as the Luxembourg "Alamo".[6][7][8]
