Arracourt: Episode 18 — 20 September
The battle did not end after the dramatic morning of 19 September; on 20 September 1944, Arracourt continued as a series of hard local fights across villages, roads, and ridges. This episode shows how Combat Command A endured repeated German attacks after the first shock had passed. The fighting became a test of endurance, maintenance, ammunition supply, radio communication, artillery response, and command discipline. German Panthers and supporting vehicles remained dangerous, but their attacks struggled to achieve the coordination needed for a decisive breakthrough. Listeners will learn why Arracourt was not a single famous tank duel, but a multi-day armored battle in which repeated blows had to be met, absorbed, and answered.
