Thank you for posting this. My dad fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He’s told me stories over the years and all I could ever think was how miserable it was over there and what those GIs went through.

Whenever I am going through a 'hard time' in life I always say to myself, "I'm not in a muddy hole covered in snow in the freezing cold with no coat while being shelled by 88's during Christmas". Makes everything I may be going through seem really small.

Hi,

Thought you might enjoy this podcast about The Battle of the Bulge

It has sound effects about eight minutes into the story
