Deutsche Wochenschau Newsreel report on the fighting in and around the german town of Geilenkirchen. The Allied battle fought in November 1944 by the 43rd Wessex Infantry Division and the US 84th Infantry Division in the Geilenkirchen region under the command of XXX Corps. A bitter lesson in attrition and savage combat. Neither side was victorious. Casualties on all sides were heavy. A high price to pay for the few miles of ground covered. Newsreel shows soldiers of the german NCO School (Unteroffiziersschule) preparing the defensive positions in town, usage of Panzerfausts against allied tanks and US prisoners brought in.
