ARMOR IN THE HURTGEN FOREST
CHAPTER II
The 60th RCT near Monschau
On the right flank of the 9th Division the 60th Infantry moved southeast out of EUPEN to MONSCHAU on 14 September. Task Force Buchanan, with the 1st Battalion of the 60th as a nucleus, moved south out of EUPEN, turned right through SOURBRODT (K870097) and CAMP ELSENBORN (K902085), and then proceeded north to MONSCHAU. The two forces tied in on 17 September and then attempted to clean up the high ground to the southeast, including HÖFEN and ALZEN (K958151). They continued on this mission until relieved by troops of the 4th Cavalry Groups after which they moved north for the attack on GERMETER.
