Wiltz

 

The town of Wiltz was a tiny one and was the place where the US 28th Inf Div under N. Cota had a rest after the severe fightings in the Huertgen forest. Here is nice museum located in the castle of Wiltz. Wiltz was liberated only on January 21, 1945 from the 26th US Inf Div and the US 6th Cav.

 

Wiltz was mostly destroyed and Cota had the order to defend Wiltz. The most severe fighting took place from December 17 to December 19.
