This WWII oral history provides a fresh account of this famous episode in the Battle of the Bulge using declassified interviews with German commanders.
In December of 1944, the Third Reich was in retreat and Allied victory was just around the corner-unless the Battle of the Bulge succeeded in turning the tide of the war. The US 101st Airborne were the only Allied unit capable of slowing the German advance towards Antwerp. And they were ordered to do just that at a small Belgium cross-roads town called Bastogne.
In this volume, historian Gary Sterne offers a vivid account of the Siege of Bastogne using declassified interviews with the German unit commanders who took part. Brought together for the first time - these ground-level accounts provide a unique perspective on the battle as the Germans were forced to make continuous alterations to their plans.

Autoren-Porträt von Sterne Gary Sterne
Gary Sterne is a keen collector of militaria and was a co-founder of The Armourer and Skirmish Magazines. He has always been fascinated with the D-day landings and in particular was intrigued by the lack of precise information relating the mystery of the "missing guns" of Pointe du Hoc. His research led to the finding of a map which indicated the position of an "unknown" German gun position buried in the village of Maisy. After buying the land and some years of struggling with the French authorities, he was able to open the huge site to the public. The re-discovery of the Maisy Battery made headline news around the world and has subsequently changed the history of the Omaha Sector forever. The site is now one of the major Normandy D-day attractions. www.maisybattery.com
