Beschreibung
During most of the eleven months between D-day and V-E day in Europe, the U S Army was carrying on highly successful offensive operations. As a consequence, the American soldier was buoyed with success, imbued with the idea that his enemy could not strike him a really heavy counterblow, and sustained by the conviction that the war was nearly won. This volume deals with the crucial period of the European campaign conducted in the Belgian Ardennes and Luxembourg, generally known as the Battle of the Bulge.
