Attack of the Bloody 28th Along the Hrtgen's Kall Trail | History Traveler Episode 327

The Hürtgen Forest was a sector along the Western Front in WWII that chewed divisions up and spit them right back out. One of the divisions that sustained a terrible ordeal in the Hürtgen was the 28th Infantry Division under the leadership of Gen. Norman Cota. It was here in the fighting along the Kall Trail where the 28th would earn their nickname of “The Bloody Bucket“. This episode was produced in partnership with The Gettysburg Museum of History.
