-Cheneux/Belgium; Operation Wacht am Rhein: By December 20th, Kampfgruppe Peiper was trapped in a pocket around the areas of Stoumont, La Gleize and Cheneux, Belgium. Peiper ordered a bridgehead across the Ambleve River at Cheneux. Units from Abteilung Flak-Sturm and 2nd Battalion from 2nd SS Panzergrenadier Regiment complied. Early on December 20th, units from the 82nd Airborne Division attempted to take Cheneux but were driven back by heavy fire from German flak units.

Nevertheless, The American paratroopers of B and C companies, of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment were ordered by the regiment's commanding officer, Reuben Tucker, to attack again after dark and eliminate Peiper's dangerous bridgehead over the Ambleve River.
