The Belgians S.A.S. Parachutists the first allied to enter in Germany
By error, a group was parachuted on the Siegfried line. They were therefore the first allied to enter in Germany. By forced walk they joined Belgium where they terminated their mission. Particularly in Sart (near Spa) where they attacked a German staff (killing a high officer). Some groups in the Ardennes operated with parachuted jeeps, armed with Vickers machine-guns, particularly in Bois-saint-Jean (Luxemburg) where on September 10, they pushed back, after furious combat, an attack of enemy armoured cars. During these operations they gave to the Supreme allied Headquarters highest information of the movements and positions of the enemy, collaborating narrowly with the local Secret Army. They also inflicted more than 300 killed, 100 vehicles and stocks of ammunitions were destroyed.
