I just finished the book "The Longest Winter" about this platoon. It was an I&R platoon that was ordered to hold the line at all costs. Them and 4 artillery observers held the line until all they had was their knives. They were finally captured by the Germans but they virtually crippled Col. Pipers SS Panzer advance to N-23, the main Belgian highway. They were marched and moved to multiple camps and were freed by the 4th Armored's Capt. Baum and his task force. Unfortunately they all where recaptured and sent back to the camps to be freed during the allied advance into Germany.
