    Description

    8 MARCH 1945
    "Group 2 had the mission of taking Ossenberg and Lt Col Butler organized a force under 1st Lt Willard Pulliam which included Co I, 137th Inf;
    a platoon of 8th Armored tanks, and a platoon of 809th tank destroyers, which fought for and seized the city.
    When daylight came, the group had reached the town when the enemy pushed a counter-attack into the group. The men pulled back to relieve the shock and then jumped once more, reaching the Solvay Works. The fire was fierce and the enemy had guns in every building and shack. The enemy artillery and mortar fire was heavy as the men of Group 2 moved slowly ahead in the bitter struggle. Two enemy tanks and one self-propelled gun were knocked out during the fray. Another force of Group 2 was working on the western outskirts of Ossenberg driving north in the face of heavy enemy fire."   source:
