Beschreibung

In this riveting book, Steven Zaloga describes how American foot soldiers faced down Hitler's elite armored spearheadthe Hitler Youth Panzer Divisionin the snowy Ardennes forest during one of World War II's biggest battles, the Battle of the Bulge. The Hitler Youth division was assigned one of the most important missions of Hitler's Ardennes offensive: the capture of the main highway to the primary objective of Antwerp, the seizure of which Hitler believed would end the war. Had the Germans taken the Belgian port, it would have cut off the Americans from the British and perhaps led to a second, more devastating Dunkirk. In Zaloga's careful reconstruction, a succession of American infantry unitsthe 99th Division, the 2nd Division, and the 1st Division (the famous Big Red One)fought a series of battles that denied Hitler the best roads to Antwerp and doomed his offensive. American GIssome of them seeing combat for the very first timehad stymied Hitler's panzers and grand plans.
