Hurtgen Forest

it seems very foolish that the Americans would try to advance through a forest that as the video said was composed of 100 foot trees that were in some places only 4 feet apart. Even more foolish is that they tried to go through a forest that was largely planted and maintained by the Germans with pre-constructed defensive positions originally meant to guard the Roer River dams from a land strike (i'm a little surprised the video didn't mention that) and once they got beyond that, they could have been flooded out of the valley
