Book Chapter
Storming the Heights of the Meuse
2014
Overview
During the second phase of the Meuse‐Argonne offensive, the American 29th and 33d Divisions were given the task of silencing German artillery along the Heights of the Meuse River. This essay explores the service of these two American divisions, fighting under the command of the French XVII Corps, and their experiences east of the Meuse. From 8 to 16 October 1918 the American and French servicemen pushed into difficult terrain, having to overcome fierce resistance from the German Fifth Army. Their experiences serve as a unique window onto the leadership of the American Expeditionary Forces and shed light on how the Meuse‐Argonne offensive as a whole was conducted.
