Lienne Creek.
On the Trail of Kampfgruppe Peip


Quote:
Peiper's column was delayed by air attacks, and it was dark by the time his tanks wound their way down the hill toward the bridge over the Lienne creek. Another squad of the 291st Engineer Combat Battalion had beaten him there and prepared the wooden Neufmolin bridge for demolition, and blew it when the Germans were about 100 meters away. This is the location where Peiper is said to have cried in frustration, "The damned engineers! The damned engineers!"
