254th Engineer Combat Battalion
JANUARY 28, 2015
In December 1944, the German offensive in the Ardennes known as the Battle of the Bulge came as a rude awakening to the American forces who believed the war to be all but won. The Germans surprised and overwhelmed several units. Among the American units that played a key role in fighting the Germans in the chaotic early days of the offensive were several engineer battalions. By destroying key bridges, creating obstacles, and fighting as infantry, the engineers delayed the Wehrmacht enough for the Allies to organize a counteroffensive. The engineers’ actions were so effective that it led SS-LTC Joachim Peiper to mutter in frustration, “The damned engineers!” after several key bridges were blown before he could cross them.The 254th Engineer Combat Battalion was one of the engineer units that fought with distinction in the Ardennes. The lineage of the 254th dates back to 8 August 1881 with the organization of the Calumet Light Guard, which was mustered into Michigan state service as Company B, 2d Battalion of Infantry. The unit served as infantry for several years and participated in the Spanish-American War. In 1906, it was converted to an engineer unit and redesignated Company A, Michigan Engineer Corps. Redesignated the 1st Engineer Battalion, the unit was drafted into Federal Service on 5 August 1917. A month later, the battalion was reorganized and redesignated the 1st Battalion, 107th Engineers, and attached to the 32nd Division. During World War I, the 107th participated in five campaigns; Meuse-Argonne, Oise-Aisne; Meuse-Argonne; Alsace 1918; and Champagne 1918.
As the U.S. geared up for World War II, the 107th Engineers was inducted into Federal Service on 15 October 1940. The regiment was reorganized as the 107th Engineer Combat Battalion and assigned to the 32nd Division in 1942. The 107th was inactivated shortly thereafter, then reorganized and redesignated as the 254th Engineer Combat Battalion on 19 August 1943, and assigned to the 1121st Engineer Combat Group, V Corps.
The 254th participated in the D-Day invasion of Normandy by supporting the initials landings of the 29th Infantry Division. After the landings, the 254th cleared mines and booby traps, repaired damaged roads, and built bridges. The battalion’s efforts greatly facilitated the link up of the Utah and Omaha beachheads.
The 254th played an active role as the Allies raced across France. The battalion was one of the first units to enter Paris. It built numerous bridges, removed obstacles and mines, and helped restore mobility to stalled infantry and armor units. On 11 September 1944, while accompanying the 5th Armored Division, the 254th became one of the first American Units to reach German soil. During the assaults on the Siegfried Line, the 254th destroyed fifty-two fortified positions.
It was during the Battle of the Bulge that the 254th experienced its most intense period of combat. On the night of 16 December, the 254th was committed as infantry along the northern shoulder of the Bulge and ordered to form a defensive line south and east of Bullingen, Belgium. At 0600 hours, elements of Kampfgruppe Peiper began assaulting the battalion’s lines with infantry supported by tanks and half-tracks. Despite their lack of heavy arms, the men of the 254th repulsed the first two attacks. A third attack with tanks overran the battalion’s lines, but stiff resistance prevented the supporting infantry from advancing.
Without adequate weapons to combat the German armor, and under heavy artillery fire, the 254th withdrew to successive positions, maintaining a heroic resistance for nine hours until relieved by the 26th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division.
As a result of its stand in the Ardennes, the 254th lost approximately 100 men dead, wounded, or taken prisoner. For this action, the battalion earned a Presidential Unit Citation with a Streamer embroidered “Belgium” and a French Croix de Guerre with Silver Star, Streamer embroidered “Belgium.”
After the Bulge, the 254th continued to serve with distinction until the end of the war. The battalion participated in the Rhine River crossings and constructed the largest tactical bridge in the ETO. It also took part in the liberation of Pilsen, Czechoslovakia, and assisted in the clean up and reconstruction of the city after the end of hostilities. The 254th arrived back in the U.S. in December 1945 and was inactivated on 22 December at Camp Myles Standish, MA.
After the war, the 254th was consolidated with the 107th Engineer Combat Battalion and redesignated the 107th Engineer Combat Battalion. Today, the 107th is currently a Michigan Army National Guard unit headquartered in Ishpeming.

254th Engineer Combat Battalion

254th Engineer Combat Battalion
(This document was previously listed as “SECRET”.)
At approximately midnight, 16 December, 1944, a message was received from the 1121st Engineer Combat Group that the Battalion was on a two-hour alert as infantry. The report also directed our commanding officer to report to the G-3, 99th Infantry Division at once.
At the 99th Headquarters, the commanding officer was told that the enemy had broken through and was coming up the Honsfeld-Bullingen highway. The G-3, 99th Infantry Division also instructed the commanding officer that all roads leading into Bullingen were blocked with tank destroyers and light tanks and this battalion was to form a defensive line south and east of Bullingen, Belgium, to protect these blocks. The battalion was then formed into two echelons; the forward set up a command post in Bullingen with the companies dug in on the south and west side of the town and the rear echelon commanded by Captain Fairfax of Headquarters and Service Company, moved to the vicinity of Waimes, Belgium, to await further orders.
After setting up the command post in Bullingen all guards of units stationed there were notified of the situation and runners were sent to locate the positions of the light tanks and tank-destroyers. The runners returned and reported that no light tanks or tank-destroyers could be found.
One sergeant of a tank-destroyer outfight was brought in by Company “B” and he stated that he had been captured at Honsfeld, escaped from the Germans, and wanted to report German armor heading toward Bullingen in strength. He said that he had seen twelve tanks and could hear more coming.
A short time later a 1st lieutenant walked into the command post, stood around to get warm, asked several questions, and stated that he had a platoon of armored infantry in half-tracks. His identification was checked and was satisfactory. When asked where his command post was he said that he was mobile and that the Germans were coming and he was leaving. This didn’t seem unusual as they usually accompany tanks and the tanks had apparently also left.
At approximately 0600 hours four flares, blue, white, red and white, were observed to the right of our Company “B” front. About five minutes later tracked vehicles were headed in our direction. These were not positively identified as we presumed that there were still some division units in front of us. The first positive identification was shouts that were heard in German. The fire order was then given by 1st Lieutenant Huff, Company “B”, who opened fire with rifles, rifle grenades and machine guns.
The German infantry then piled off the vehicles, one panzer tank and six half-tracks, got within 15 yards of our positions before being driven back. They pulled back and reorganized and in about 20 minutes the infantry charged our Company “B” positions under supporting fire of the tanks. The tanks fired few large caliber shells but most were 20mm high explosive shells and machine guns. This attack was in greater force and in spite of the tanks and shouts of their officers, they were driven back after sustaining heavy losses. The next 10 minutes gave us time to evacuate our wounded but now it was getting quite light.
Then, after 10 minutes they charged again, but this time the assault was led by their tanks. As no heavy anti-tank fire was encountered, the tanks spread out and over ran Company “B” positions crushing two machine guns. The men stayed in their foxholes and only three men were injured by the tanks passing over them.
The German infantry was still unable to over run our positions due to the intensive small arms fire. The German infantry then withdrew and maneuvered around our flank which was exposed. In this action one tank was knocked out and two of the twelve damaged while many Germans were left lying on the battlefield.
Having been over-run, the battalion was instructed to fight a delaying action falling back on Butgenbach, by G-3, 99th Infantry Division. Orders were issued by battalion for Company “C” to fight back out of town and north west along railroad tracks, Company “A”, toward Wirtzfeld, and Company “B” and Headquarters down Bullingen-Butgenbach Road.
Company “C” fought back through town and took positions north of Bullingen. Company “A” as yet had not been pressed and held, and the battalion took positions on the ridge west of town. Company “B” having been cut off could not reach the road. Headquarters men were moved from position to position to give the appearance of a strongly held line with favorable terrain in front of them. This line could be seen from the town and when their point reorganized it took the St Vith road south. The enemy point, on reaching crossroads of the St Vith-Butgenbach road, halted for approximately ten minutes and finally moved south. Our objective had temporarily been accomplished.
After the enemy point passed, the support, at about 0800 hours, sent tanks toward Wirtzfeld where the 2nd Infantry Division met them with tank destroyers. They also knocked out one tank flanking Headquarters position west of town.
At about 1200 hours, two platoons of Company “B” had worked their way through the woods and joined Headquarters west of town and three anti-tank guns were found located at CR K93002. The Germans brought up artillery and shelled the position west of town, and at, approximately 1300 hours, the line, under several light tanks which had just arrived, dropped back to the crossroads.
At about 1500 hours, the 26th Infantry relieved the unit and took over this position. At 1545 hours Company “A” was subjected to shelling and strafing by our own troops. Because of this, the company commander ordered the company to withdraw toward Wirtzfeld. En route the 23rd Infantry was contacted, told of the situation, and they formally relieved Company “A” of the responsibility of their front.
After being relieved the battalion returned to Camp Elsenborn where we reorganized and prepared for our next missions.

An Uncle My Wife Never Knew
Posted by Bruce <https://broeder10.blog/author/broeder10/> on March 23, 2012 <https://broeder10.blog/2012/03/23/an-uncle-my-wife-never-knew/> in Genealogy <https://broeder10.blog/category/history/conflicts/misc/odds-and-ends/genealogy/>, History <https://broeder10.blog/category/history/>, WW2 <https://broeder10.blog/tag/ww2/>
James F. Robinson is the name of my wife’s uncle. Like the uncle I did not know my wife did not know her uncle either.
James died September, 19th, 1944 at the age of 24. He is buried At Henri-Chappelle American Cemetery in Belgium. His service record indicates a bronze star and purple heart. He held the rank of Private, First Class (PFC).
<https://broeder10.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/hc4-11.jpg>
American Cemetery, Belgium
We do not know much about James. He was my mother-in-law’s half-brother and they all lived in the Oshkosh, Wisconsin area. There had been a divorce and the result was two blended families that didn’t necessarily have much contact. My mother-in-law remembered him though. She was in the Army herself being trained as a WAC (women’s army corp) around the time of James’ death. She told me many years ago that the Army told the family James was killed by a sniper in the Battle of the Bulge in Luxembourg and was a Combat Engineer <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_engineer>.
Judging by the date of James’ death he would not have been killed in the Battle of the Bulge. The German Ardennes Offensive did not start until December, 1944 and James was killed in September, 1944.
I did verify that James was a Combat Engineer. He served in the 254th Engineer Combat Battalion <http://http/armyhistoryjournal.com/?p=763>. What follows below is a hint of where James may have died:
The 254th participated in the D-Day invasion of Normandy by supporting the initial landings of the 29th Infantry Division. After the landings, the 254th cleared mines and booby traps, repaired damaged roads, and built bridges. The battalion’s efforts greatly facilitated the link up of the Utah and Omaha beachheads.
The 254th played an active role as the Allies raced across France. The battalion was one of the first units to enter Paris. It built numerous bridges, removed obstacles and mines, and helped restore mobility to stalled infantry and armor units. On 11 September 1944, while accompanying the 5th Armored Division, the 254th became one of the first American Units to reach German soil. During the assaults on the Siegfried Line <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_Line>, the 254th destroyed fifty-two fortified positions.
It is likely that James was with the 254th Engineer Combat Battalion for the Normandy invasion which took place three months before his death (June 6th, 1944). According to the above, the 254th was attached to the 5th Armored Division <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_Armored_Division_%28United_States%29> and on September 11th, 1944 became one of the first American units to enter Germany. Given the fact that James was killed 8 days later it’s easy to speculate he was killed in Germany, very possibly by a sniper.
As I researched the records I learned there were quite a few American cemeteries in Europe. Henri-Chappelle in Belgium is only one of many and is located only seven miles from the German border-a fact that tends to verify that James was killed in Germany as the Siegfried Line was breached. Almost 8,000 American soldiers are buried at Henri-Chapelle. There is also a monument to 450 soldiers who are missing which probably means their remains were never found.
James was single. I think only one of James’ siblings remains alive today, my wife’s elderly aunt.
