Description

  • Against-all-odds actions by the 1st Infantry Division during the Battle of the Bulge
  • Firsthand accounts from American and German soldiers
  • Details on Jochen Peiper and the notorious Malmedy Massacre

    On the second day of the Battle of the Bulge, armored divisions of the Sixth SS Panzer Army rolled down the road to Bütgenbach, where, over the course of six days, the 26th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division held out against constant attacks. Elsewhere, Jochen Peiper's SS battle group raced across the Belgian countryside and massacred American prisoners near Malmedy.
