64 Years Ago Today...

Jules Crittenden has a great post at Forward Movement concerning The Battle of Bulge.

It began at dawn on Dec. 16, 1944, 64 years ago today, with rapid assaults through the Ardennes forest, as the Germans blitzed one last time, hoping to split the Allied armies and take Antwerp. As Guderian reportedly liked to say, “Man schlägt jemanden mit der Faust und nicht mit gespreizten Fingern.” You punch with the fist and not with the fingers spread.

Jules has an overview and plenty of photographs marking the anniversary of this "bloodiest of battles".
