In December 1944 the Third Reich was retreating. It was almost
inconceivable that they could mount a counter offensive. To the
Allies, the capitulation of the Third Reich was just around the
corner. Or was it? Could the Battle of the Bulge succeed in turning
the tide of the war for the German high command ? The US 101st
Airborne were the only Allied unit capable of slowing down the
German advance towards Antwerp - and they were ordered to do just
that - at a place called Bastogne. The battle for the small Belgium
cross-roads town is now world famous and to add to that historical
narrative, the author has located de-classified interviews with the
German unit commanders who took part. Brought together for the
first time - they provide a unique perspective on the battle as the
Germans were forced to make continuous alterations to their plans -
and the 101st resisted every attempt to dislodge them. This book
offers significant and fresh research on this famous battle and the
narrative unfolds in words of the men who were actually there.
