Sauer Gorge near Goebelsmühle

 

Here is the river Sauer and the bridge at Goebelsmühle. The view is in direction Bourscheid. I love the fog it looks like back in 1944

 

 

Now on December 17 1944, the 5th Comp., I./FJR 15 took a Raid into Goebelsmühle to seize the Sauer bridge for the tanks. This raid was qualified for the close combat clasp. There, the paratroopers have been engaged in a short but severe firefight against soldiers of the US combat Engineer Batl 35. The paratroopers than seized a inn just near the Sauer river to take a rest.

 

On the pic you can see the former inn near the Sauer river.
