[The Hurt-Gene]

The battle of Hürtgen along the Siegfired Line from 1944 to
1945 is one of the greatest myths of World War II. It was the
longest battle on German soil, known as well as the "Verdun
in the Eifel". The largest American defeat in Europe ever.
Even the official US-military history speaks of Hürtgen
Forest as a "black-green ocean of forest, in which Hänsel and
Gretel had lost their way".

Probably they found the Hurt-Gene here...
