	12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hitlerjugend was unique because the majority of its junior enlisted men were drawn from members of the Hitler Youth born in 1926, while the NCOs and officers were generally veterans of the Eastern Front.
		In the confusion of the withdrawal, the division was unable to undertake a rescue attempt.
		When the division was first engaged in action in June 1944, there were several cases of atrocities being committed by both sides (for example, the killing of surrendered members of the Panzer-Lehr Division, and the abuse and death of Obest Luxenberger by members of the Inns of Court Regiment on 8th June, 1944).

	Battle of the Bulge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Attacks by the 6th SS Panzer Army infantry units in the north fared badly due to unexpectedly fierce resistance by the U.S. 2nd Infantry Division and U.S. 99th Infantry Division, which was attached to the 2nd, at the Elsenborn Ridge, stalling their advance; this forced Dietrich to unleash his panzer forces early.
		Von der Heydte and his men were to take it and hold it for approximately twenty-four hours until being relieved by the 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend, thereby hampering the Allied flow of reinforcements and supplies into the area.
		The defenders, led by the U.S. 7th Armored Division, and also including one regiment of the U.S. 106th Infantry Division, and additional elements of the U.S. 9th Armored Division and U.S. 28th Infantry Division, all under the command of General Bruce C. Clarke, successfully resisted the German attacks, thereby significantly slowing the German advance.
