Merriam Press Military Monograph 5. Fifth Edition (January 2012).
At the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge two of the most
important localities were Bastogne and St. Vith, with their the
road nets which, if held, would disrupt the plan of any aggressor.
Bastogne was an important communications center and has received
much of the attention, causing many to lose sight of the importance
of St. Vith and the gallant stand made for its defense by elements
of the 106th Division and CCB, 7th Armored Division. It was CCB
which influenced the subsequent action and caused the enemy so much
delay and so many casualties. Though armor was not designed
primarily for the role of the defensive, the operation was
nevertheless a good example of how it can assume such role in an
emergency. This is a detailed, well-written history of a highly
significant battle. This is a brand new edition (not a facsimile
reprint) of a booklet originally published by the Armor School at
Ft. Knox in 1966. Contents: Foreword of 1966; Foreword; Editor's
