Christmas 1944: The Battle of the Bulge

Posted by William A. Jacobson Wednesday, December 24, 2014 at 7:00pm

 

Christmas Eve in the Ardennes.

 

The Battle of the Bulge was a turning point in World War II, when American troops turned back the final Nazi counter-offensive on the Western front. Over 100,000 Americans would be killed or wounded before it was over.

The battle lasted for weeks, but came to a head over Christmas, 1944, 70 years ago.

Christopher Miskimon at Warfare History Network has this account of one Christmas Eve battle.
