In the Battle of Freeman's Farm, also known as the First Battle of Saratoga, British forces under General John Burgoyne win a costly victory that is later reversed in the Battle of Bemis Heights 18 days later.
The Battle of Hürtgen Forest begins as Americans attack German forces east of the Belgian-German border. It would become the longest battle ever fought by the U.S. Army.
