rdfs:label	Raid on Rocherath Battery
rdfs:comment	The Raid on Rocherath Battery (or simply Rocherath) was the second and final skirmish of the Battle of the Bulge epic campaign. Near the town of Rocherath, Belgium, elements of the 21st Panzer Division, led by Hauptmann Jonas Merhoff, assaulted an Allied artillery battery. Defending the little battery and church were elements of the 3 ID 3rd Armour BDE, led by Lieutenant Nicholas Ealing and a squad from the 49th Infantry Division, led by Staff Sergeant David Bevan. Both sides took horrific casualties during the fighting; of the thirty men overall on the battlefield, only thirteen survived and none without wounds.
