The story
In the morning of the 21st enemy patrols infiltrated into American positions near the Ober Olmer Wald inflicting some damage before they were finally eliminated. At Hahnheim was discovered a strong force which rejected all demands to surrender. Division artillery plus the 8-inch guns of Corps proceeded virtually to annihilate the town. Seventy Germans were killed ; 120 reconsidered the surrender demands. The 90th suffered no casualties in the encounter.
