Battle – The Story of the Bulge – Historical Book – Signet from Signet

Description

On December 16, 1944, 1900 pieces of heavy German artillery bombarded the silent, snow-coveed Ardennes front. 250,000 Germans and almost 1000 tanks followed in a smashing assault on the Allied “rest area” which was defended only by exhausted or green United States troops. This marked the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge.
