Summary
Patton at the Battle of the Bulge : How the General's Tanks Turned the Tide at Bastogne
December 1944. For the besieged American defenders of Bastogne, time was running out. Hitler's forces had pressed in on the small Belgian town in a offensive designed to push back the Allies, starting the Battle of the Bulge. So far the U.S. soldiers had managed to repel waves of attackers and even a panzer onslaught. But as their ammunition dwindled, the weary paratroopers of the 101st Airborne could only hope for a miracle in the form of General Patton and his Third Army. More than 100 miles away, Patton, ordered to race his men to Bastogne and make the charge.
