Bastogne 1944
Dez.1944 Belgium Europe
In the early morning of December 16, 1944, eight days until Christmas. A terrible artillery strike surprises the American lines in the Ardennes.
He was followed by the strongest contingent that Hitler's armies still had to offer: Tiger tanks advance through the fog, SS divisions overrun US Army positions and massacre prisoners, in an apocalypse of blood, ice and fire the resistance collapses in many places .
The German counter-offensive in the mountainous, heavily forested and weakly defended Belgian Ardennes is aimed at Antwerp, the supply port of the Western Allies. And for a few days, until Christmas, it almost looks like she might succeed.
