The battle of the Argonne Forest
No, the Huertgen is a bit farther south than the Ardennes Forest, which was the scene of the Ardennes Offensive, commonly called the Battle of the Bulge. The Huertgen was the scene of bitter fighting in the autumn of 1944, as the US command poured in four infantry divisions in succession which were chewed up by the German defenders, instead of taking the reasonable course and going around the relatively small forest. What the US was trying to do was to get at the Roer River dams on the other side of the Huertgen, to prevent the Germans from opening the floodgates on the dams and inundating the countryside downstream from the dams. This the US failed to prevent. The Ardennes Forest was the same area which the Germans used to invade France in 1940. It was thought that this densely wooded area of few roads, steep hills cut by numerous ravines was impassable for a modern, mechanized army with tanks. Despite the Germans proving that it was imminently practicable for tanks in 1940, in 1944 the US high command was not expecting anything from the Germans by way of the Ardennes, which is really inexcusable. The Americans and the other allies basically believed the Germans were already defeated by the autumn of 1944. These two episodes, the Huertgen and the Ardennes, are about the lowest points of the overall far less than stellar performance of the US command in Europe in WWII.
