    The village of Hotton lies in the Ourthe river valley at the junction of the roads from Marche, Barvaux, Grandhan and Manhay. During Hitler’s Wacht am Rhein offensive, aka ‘The Battle of the Bulge’, the town would represent a key road junction as well as an important river crossing.
    Hotton would become a battlefield on 21 December 1944. The night before, forward elements of the German 116th Panzer Division slipped between Task Force Hogan and Task Force Tucker, both from the American 3rd Armored Division. The surprise enemy encroachment made contact with the main road between Hotton and Soy, knocking American plans on their keester.

    General Rose’s strategy—to send the 3rd Armored down the main N15 Liège-Bastogne road—was rendered untenable when word came up the line around 0850 hours that ‘many German tanks’ had reached the road north of Hotton and were bearing down on the town. This was no drill, evidenced when small arms and mortar shells began falling in Hotton proper. German tanks entered the fray, soon knocking out two American Shermans east of the Ourthe. But just as the leading Panther was put into gear to continue the advance, a lone American tank-destroyer appeared on the opposite bank and put it out of action.
