Can anyone recommend any good resources (books or websites) for the Battle Of Hatten (the largest armor battle on the Western Front in WWII)? I just found out yesterday that my father was there, and he told me some good information, but I'd like to learn more.

You can probably find stuff on Hatten-Rittershoffen in any resource that talks about Operation Nordwind to any real extent. Charles Whiting wrote a book about fifteen years ago, Operation North Wind: The Other Battle of the Bulge (I think; I don't actually own it), which seems to go fairly in depth. I know that there's a French book on the Battle of Hatten-Rittershoffen specifically but I don't know if it's been translated or where to find it. Outside of those two, check the 14th Armored Division's divisional history.
