	Amazon.com: Seven Days in January: With the 6th SS-Mountain Division in Operation NORDWIND: Books: Wolf T. Zoepf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The attack, set in the Vosges mountains, pitted several Volksgrenadier divisions and most of the 6th SS Mountain Division against a thin line of American units, mostly from the 70th Infantry Division (although later on other units, particularly the 45th Infantry Division, played important roles).
		Volksgrenadier divisions, for example, were organized for defense, not for the attack; they lacked enough infantry units, and their organic units were not mobile (instead relying upon foot marches or horse-drawn wagons).
		In fact, unlike the Ardennes Offensive, wherein badly mauled, hastily rejuvenated panzer divisions were committed into terrain completely unsuited for armor, in NORDWIND, a properly equipped, full-strength mountain infantry unit comprised of long-service veterans of years of fighting in arctic conditions was committed to a mission perfectly suited for it.
