Go on Kevin, do the decent thing and let him have his big boys tank back.
Good to see the drama continue.

In the North of the Bulge, the town of St Vith would be critical to whether the advance would progress quickly enough as it was a major road junction.

In the South, the German advance would soon approach another key road junction.............

 

[panda1gen]

Eisenhower should take some credit for moving the strategic reserve - the US 101 and 82 Divisions 'fresh' from Market Garden - to Bastogne and St Vith respectively, early in the battle.

But without the 7th Armoured at St Vith and elements of the 9 and 10 Armoured divisions at Bastogne, they probably could not have held the Germans up.

Particularly at Bastogne, the defence put up by the other units, rather than the gallant 101st, seems relatively rarely acknowledged in popular culture.
