Men of the 578th Field Artillery Battalion (attached to US 90th Infantry Division) emplace a captured German gun in preparation for firing on Germans trapped in the Harlange Pocket, northern Luxembourg, 5 miles south-east of Bastogne, Belgium; Battle of the Bulge, January 11, 1945.

Captured from the Germans

A burning jeep most probably sustained a direct hit from a German mortar shell. German incoming fire was very active in the village of Nothum, Luxembourg, after it was occupied by US Forces. The GIs are from the 3rd Battalion of the 104th Infantry Regiment, US 26th Infantry Division; Battle of the Bulge, January 10, 1945.
