90 Infantry Division (USA) captured Basse-Ham

The infantry stormed and captured Petite Hettange, Métrich, Kerling-lès-Sierck, Basse-Ham and had gained a precarious and exposed grip on the top of Fort Koenigsmacker itself.

The town of Koenigsmacker (not to be confused with the Fort) fell to the driving 90th. At midnight eight battalions had crossed the river, seven towns had been taken, and the bridgehead had been driven to a depth of three kilometers.
