During the Battle of the Bulge, Paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division run a phone line over a knocked out Tiger II Tank as a woman and two young ladies walk by in January of 1945.
Lasting six brutal weeks from December 1944 to January 1945, the Battle of the Bulge took place during frigid weather conditions, with some 30 German divisions attacking battle-fatigued Allied troops across 85 miles of the densely wooded Ardennes Forest in Belgium.
Called “the greatest American battle of the war” by Winston Churchill, the clash was Hitler’s last major offensive in World War II against the Western Front.
It would prove to be costly for the US Army, which suffered roughly 90,000 casualties and lost 19,000 men killed in action.
The 746th FEAF Band recorded the only known album by a frontline band unit in the jungles of the Pacific.
