Hometown heroes

Seventy five years ago on December 16, 1944, over 200,000 German Troops counter-attacked across the front line in Belgium and Luxembourg. U.S. army historical center calls it “the greatest battle in military history”. It became known as “The Battle of the Bulge” because of the large wedge that was driven in the allied lines by the surprise German attack. After D-Day and the “draining Normandy drive,” allied troops believed the worst was behind them. However, Hitler still thought he could turn the tide by regaining the northern Belgian port of Antwerp. It was a battle that lasted until the last battle on January 28, 1945.
