By Christmas 1944, the Allies were on the threshold of victory, having remorselessly rolled the Germans back to the very borders of "The Fatherland". The, the shock of a massive Nazi counter-attack through the Ardennes in the depth of winter threw the Allies into confusion. Bastogne was at the very centre of this dramatic and most dangerous setback.
Very good presentation of a terrible battle. Visited there in 1958 and many buildings were destroyed or badly damaged. Thank you for doing the research and putting it into words.
