In 1945, the 1st Battalion, 10th Regiment, of the U.S. 5th Infantry Division was fighting in Luxembourg during the final stages of the Battle of the Bulge. The battalion was involved in intense combat throughout January, culminating in the capture of the village of Putscheid (Pëtschent) on January 28, 1945, after several days of severe fighting. The 5th Infantry Division, known as the "Red Diamond," was part of Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's Third U.S. Army and played a crucial role in pushing German forces back during this period.
