The Battle of Elsenborn Ridge refers to the northernmost German attacks during the Battle of the Bulge. The area from Elsenborn Ridge itself to Monschau was the only sector of the American front line attacked during the Battle of the Bulge where the Germans failed to advance. The battle centered on the boomerang-shaped Elsenborn Ridge east of Elsenborn, Belgium. In this region, Elsenborn Ridge marks the westernmost ridge of the Ardennes, rising more than 2,000 feet (600 m) above sea level; unlike the uplands further north, east and south, it has been extensively logged. West of Elsenborn Ridge, where the land descends in gentle hills to the cities of Liège and Spa, was a network of Allied supply bases and a well-developed road network. The Germans planned on using two key routes through th

  • O Elsenborn Ridge é uma linha de pequenas serras e encostas (inglês: ridges) a oeste da cidade de Elsenborn, Bélgica, na floresta das Ardenas que ficou conhecida por sua participação na Batalha das Ardenas. Unidades do V Corpo do 1º Exército dos Estados Unidos seguraram as serras do ataque alemão promovido pela 12ª Divisão Panzer da SS, protegendo os depósitos de suprimentos nas cidades de Liège e Spa, na Bélgica, e também protejeu as junções de estradas vitáis no Elsenborn Ridge que levavam ao Rio Mosa e a Antuérpia. Esse foi o único setor defendido pelos americanos nas Ardenas em que os alemães falharam em avançar durante a batalha das Ardenas. (pt)

  • La battaglia del crinale di Elsenborn fu uno degli scontri più importanti combattuti durante la fase iniziale dell'offensiva delle Ardenne sferrata dall'Esercito Tedesco dal 16 dicembre 1944 sul fronte occidentale, nella seconda guerra mondiale. Nonostante la sorpresa e la chiara inferiorità di forze e mezzi corazzati, le due divisioni americane impegnate nel settore più settentrionale del fronte attaccato, respinsero, durante la prima settimana della battaglia, i ripetuti ed ostinati attacchi del 1º Panzerkorps-SS che tentava di aprirsi un varco per poter avanzare rapidamente, come previsto dai piani, verso la Mosa e Liegi.

  • Bitwa o grzbiet Elsenborn – najdalej wysunięte na północ starcie niemieckiej ofensywy w Ardenach przeprowadzonej pod koniec II wojny światowej. Walki koncentrowały się na grzbiecie Elsenborn, wzgórzu o kształcie bumerangu, położonym na wschód od miasta Waimes w Belgii. W tym regionie grzbiet Elsenborn stanowi najbardziej wysunięte na zachód wzniesienie Ardenów, wznoszące się na wysokość ponad 600 m n.p.m.; w przeciwieństwie do wyżyn położonych dalej na północ, wschód i południe, był on intensywnie zalesiony. Na zachód od grzbietu Elsenborn, gdzie teren schodzi łagodnymi wzgórzami do miast Liège i Spa, znajdowała się sieć baz zaopatrzeniowych aliantów i dobrze rozwinięta sieć dróg. Niemcy planowali wykorzystać dwie kluczowe trasy (niem. Rohlbahn) wiodące przez ten obszar, aby przejąć Antwer (pl)
