Program Description

The Battle of the Bulge was the single biggest and bloodiest battle American soldiers ever fought. It was a total surprise when, on December 16, 1944, 30 German divisions roared across an 85-mile Allied front. Unprepared for the assault, more than 80,000 Americans were killed, maimed or captured. This film looks at the battle through the eyes of the U.S. soldiers and combat officers in the field.
