Book Synopsis Breakthrough: The Epic Story of the Battle of the Bulge by : Franklin M. Davis Jr
Book excerpt: “This battle,” Hitler said, “is to decide whether we shall live or die.” Skilfully, secretly, he assembled three German armies—24 divisions, 250,000 men, 970 tanks and 1900 pieces of artillery. Taking advantage of the harsh winter, he picked a place where the Allied forces were water-thin—four American divisions and one armored cavalry regiment—and unleashed a devastating attack to annihilate the outnumbered defenders. Thus started the greatest pitched battle ever fought by the United States in its history—the engagement that destroyed forever the myth of the vaunted superiority of the German soldier.
