24 December 1944 A.D. German Offensive at Ardennes
Exhausted; American Forces Hold
1944 – The German
Ardennes offensive is exhausted by the end of the day. The furthest advance has
been achieved by elements of the German 5th Panzer Army. The 2nd Panzer
Division has reached the outskirts of Dinant with the 116th Panzer Division on
the right flank near Hotten and the Panzer Lehr Division on the left flank to
the west of St. Hubert. American forces in Bastogne continue to resist; some
260 Allied transports drop supplies to the defenders. Allied fighter-bombers
fly over 600 sorties in the Ardennes.
