Sobre este artículo
(Subject: World War II - General) An authors research copy, signs of use, lines in margins and cover wear. Useful reference copy. The story of the Battle of the Bulge from frozen foxholes to barn shelters, to boxcars packed with prisoners of war. In late December 1944, as the battle neared its climax, a German loudspeaker challenge was blared across GI lines in the Ardennes: "How would you like to die for Christmas?" In the inhospitable forest straddling Belgium, France, and Luxembourg, only the dense, snow-laden evergreens indicated the season. Most troops hardly knew the calendar day they were trying to live through. (Published: 2007) (Publisher: NAL Caliber) (ISBN: 9780451223173) (Pagination: 210pp illustrations) (Condition: ) UL-XXXXXX
Sinopsis
It was truly a white Christmas in the Ardennes Forest in 1944, but that was cold comfort to the Allied soldiers trying to stop the Nazis from retaking Belgium in one of the most decisive battles of World War II. While a German loudspeaker taunted, ?How would you like to die for Christmas?? the Allied forces dug in, despite freezing conditions. They needed a miracle. In a medieval chapel, General Patton, who needed clear skies to allow airborne reinforcements to reach his trapped men, uttered what would become a famous prayer: ?Sir, whose side are you on?? His soldiers wouldn?t be home for Christmas, but as the skies cleared, they went on to win a battle? and a war.
