Introduction
|
|
To the right of the 100th Battalion, Lt. Col. James Hanley's 2nd battalion had been assigned Hill B with the Merlin Castle controlling its summit. They awakened long before dawn and had been hampered in their preparations by heavy rain and fog. Nevertheless they crossed their line of departure right on time at 0800. A few prisoners fell into Nisei hands and turned out to be Russian impressed into German service; perhaps the enemy would not be so tough after all.
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
Maybe the Germans received some magical assistance from the castle's namesake. Maybe the oppressive weather and tough terrain took its toll. Regardless, the 2nd Battalion failed in repeated sorties against the surprisingly tough defenders. In fact, the defenders in this sector would doggedly hold on for another three days.
