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.
