Battle of Bulge, Vol. 1 : The Losheim Gap/Holding the Line Paperback / softback
by Hans Wijers
Part of the Stackpole Military History Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Most accounts of the Battle of the Bulge focus on the center, where the 101st Airborne held Bastogne, but the Germans' main thrust actually occurred to the north, where Sepp Dietrich's 6th SS Panzer Army stormed through the Losheim Gap on its way to Liege and Antwerp.
In this region of thick forests, snowy fields, and muddy trails during the battle's first week in December 1944, U.S. troops from the 2nd and 99th Infantry Divisions successfully halted the best of the German war machine, including the 12th SS Panzer and the 3rd Fallschirmjager Divisions.
