If you are interested in the raid, this book is a great look at the training, the raid, and the crew's E&E back to the US.

Despite this being a repost with no source or credit to the picture, the description is not accurate, the SS - 501st HPB has never seen combat in western Europe, but on the Eastern Front and the North African Campaign
Also, around Stavelot (Francorchamps) was the location of the famous massive German fuel dump, held as an absolute secret until the allied units found out about as a result of the rapid advance to cut the German supplies short. What the Germans really did not want, was to draw attention to that area and to keep the intel hidden, which means that combat was far away from there at La Gleize and its surroundings.
Great book about these workers by a teacher who built bombers over the summer:

She later wrote some famous books on math.
There is a very interesting book, D-Day Through German Eyes that is worth reading whether or not you are a WW2 buff.
Some of the things that stuck in my memory; German soldiers had never experienced White Phosphorus and were terrified (rightfully so), another was the description from Germans who were in tank turrets permanently affixed to concrete foundations a few thousand meters from the beach.
