Memorial Site Hasselpath Position 4. German Headquarters and CP

Rocherath, Rocherath (Bûllingen)
Liège, Belgium

Group of German positions dug during the battle for Elsenborn Ridge (989th Regiment 277th Volksgrenadier Division). Each hole has an entry oriented north-east, the combat zone being at the time a few kilometers due west and within artillery range. Like many of the American holes, those ones were also covered by logs and dirt to give the occupants a maximum of protection against the artillery and the extreme winter conditions.
