sides, the TD was destroyed by its crew before withdrawing into town. At this time Lt. Benjamin J.
Phillips, B Company commander and temporarily in charge of the 3rd platoon, brought up two TD’s and
knocked out the last German tank.
Thus our forces were able to hold strategically important Oberwampach controlling one escape
highway from the untenable Ardennes pocket. This also marked the turning point and the enemy began
to hurriedly withdraw from the ‘Bulge’.
