They were in Nordwind, the German offensive south of the Bulge near Strasbourg in Alsace. They were still working primarily as the combat engineer battalion assigned to Gen. LeClerc's 2nd French Armored Division, as they had been since arriving in Normandy with Patton's Third Army in late July/early August. After the liberation of Paris, they were assigned to Gen. Patch's 7th Army and took part in the liberation of Strasbourg, the Vosges Campaign, etc. 7th filled the wide gap in the Allies' lines when Patton raced north during the Battle of the Bulge. January-March were hard months for the 165th and 7th Army. The 165th lost a number of men, though they did not have to man the line as infantrymen as they had done earlier north of Paris, at least to my knowledge.

Does 37th Engineer Battalion have Sappers?
US combat engineers call themselves sappers, so yes the 37E has sappers. That answer isn't necessarily true. Not all Combat Engineers are considered "Sappers." There is actually a "Sapper" school, which is sort of the "Ranger" school for Combat Engineers. Yes, there ARE Sappers in the 37th Engineer Battalion but only because they have sent people to Sapper School, which is also located at Ft Leonard Wood, MO, just like the Combat Engineer AIT training. Trust me, I was there. I also was in the 37th Engineer Bn. and I went to Sapper School.
