That counter attack became as the Battle of the Bulge. The front line remained stable in area of Haguenau, but what the Allies did not expect was that the Germans had a follow up plan. On December 31st, 1944, the Germans launched another massive counter attack in Vosges area to destroy the American 7th Army and use the Rhine valley to retake Strassbourg.
After three weeks of fighting and giving up ground, Haguenau became a battle zone again.. The Moder River formed a natural border between the American and German lines. The 101st Airborne Division was rushed up to the front here in the last week of January 1945 to relieve the 79th Infantry division and strengthen the positions along Moder River.The 36th Infantry Division relieved the 101st Airborne Division on February 27, 1945. And two weeks later on March 15th, the allies resumed the offensive. However it wasn't until March 19 that the last German was cleared out of Haguenau after house-to-house fighting.
