Patton at the Battle of the Bulge - How the General's Tanks Turned the Tide at Bastogne
Author(s): Leo Barron
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.
