Historie
This WWII oral history provides a fresh account of this famous episode in the Battle of the Bulge using declassified interviews with German commanders.
In December of 1944, the Third Reich was in retreat and Allied victory was just around the corner—unless the Battle of the Bulge succeeded in turning the tide of the war. The US 101st Airborne were the only Allied unit capable of slowing the German advance towards Antwerp. And they were ordered to do just that at a small Belgium cross-roads town called Bastogne.
In this volume, historian Gary Sterne offers a vivid account of the Siege of Bastogne using declassified interviews with the German unit commanders who took part. Brought together for the first time – these ground-level accounts provide a unique perspective on the battle as the Germans were forced to make continuous alterations to their plans.
