Battle of the Bulge
Our General Anthony McAuliffe
Remember?

Nuts to you General
and Nuts to you David Israel
History Lesson

In late 1944, in the wake of the allied forces' successful D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, it seemed as if the Second World War was all but over. But on December 16, with the onset of winter, the German army launched a counteroffensive that was intended to cut through the Allied forces in a manner that would turn the tide of the war in Hitler's favor. The battle that ensued is known historically as The Battle of the Bulge. The courage and fortitude of the American Soldier was tested against great adversity. Nevertheless, the quality of his response ultimately meant the victory of freedom over tyranny.

    1. The rest of the rest of the story is that the Americans were surrounded by 14 year old boys, members of Hitler's Youth Corp, that's all that was left, and they wanted to shoot everybody, being stopped by their officers.
