Ask anyone on the line what they remember the most vividly and they'll give you two answers, always in the same order.

Tree-bursts.
The cold.

And yet they fought. The two elderly veterans I personally know who were involved in combat during the Bulge will each stress that they thought it was a make or break battle, when they feel like talking about it. One is my best freind's dad and he'll say that it was a heck of thing to go through when you're only nineteen years old and thought you would live forever. According to him, you got over that in one quick hurry.
