FAUCOGNEY
A detailed look from the previous photo. The drive north from Lure to Faucogney was fiercely contested — the fighting at times hand to hand. The retreat of the German army was slowed as it fell back into prepared positions and advancing Americans faced booby-traps in ordinary things. The advance also encountered massive wooden roadblocks manned more and more by fanatical defenders.
