75 years ago today, 250,000 German troop smashed through the American lines all across the Ardennes forest. All across the front American troops would make a retreating with drawl, panic and chaos reigned. The 106th Infantry Division men retreated in panic 1000s would be captured and killed. But small pockets of men would not retreat but they would stand and fight. This is just one story of those men. Let us never forget the sacrifice of those 19000 men capture, killed and wounded. Let us never forget the African American soldiers that would fight and died for their freedom. This is just one of the stories of those men.

Not how. When.

You edit your text on a Notepad or Word document BEFORE you copy/paste it into the post form.

I read somewhere at the Battle of the Bulge a soldier was digging a fox hole when an Officer asked him where the enemy was, he said there in front of me so get behind me I’m with the 82nd airborne. I think.

Hitler only became “an idiot” when he got too cocky, after defeating France, so easily. After that, he thought he could do no wrong.
