Operation Stösser (English: Operation Hawk) was a paratroop drop into the American rear in the High Fens area during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. Its objective was to take and hold the crossroads at Belle Croix Jalhay N-68 - N-672 until the arrival of the 12th SS Panzer Division. Both roads were main supply routes, the N-68 Eupen and the N-672 Verviers up to Belle-Croix leads to either Malmedy or Elsenborn. The operation was led by Oberst Freiherr Friedrich August Freiherr von der Heydte, who was given eight days to prepare the mission. The majority of the Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers) and pilots assigned to the operation were undertrained and inexperienced. Kampfgruppe Von Der Heydte took up a position at Porfays in the forest east of the N-68 and conducted some local skirmis

- Operation Stösser var en tysk flygburen operation som genomfördes under Ardenneroffensiven. Operationen var ursprungligen planerad att genomföras den 16 december 1944 men dåligt väder och brist på bränsle gjorde att den sköts upp till den 17 december. Befälhavare för operationen var den tyske fallskärmsjägarofficeren överstelöjtnant Friedrich von der Heydte. Operation Stösser var den sista tyska luftlandsättningsoperationen med fallskärmsjägare under andra världskriget, den var även den enda tyska luftlandsättningen som skedde nattetid. (sv)
