          The 3rd Panzergrenadier Division had seen more than its share of fighting before the Ardennes 
  Campaign.  It had been nearly destroyed in the Stalingrad debacle but had been rebuilt around its survi-
  vors.  It was sent to Italy and after a hard fight at Salerno, the division helped bottle up the Allies at An-
  zio.  After being forced to retreat, the battered division was sent to France to recuperate and ended up 
  heavily engaged in the fighting in the Hurtgen Forest in November of 1944.  The tough panzergrenadiers  
  began the battle in OKW Reserve and were sent into the fight on December 18 to help in the assault on 
  Elsenborn ridge.  After a series of costly but futile attacks, they were withdrawn and put on the defen-
  sive, where they waged a very stubborn fight against the Allied counteroffensive in January.
