U S Had to Bomb Their Own Forces to Hold Malmedy
In a wartime reflection the author recalls the Battle of the Bulge and the hard choices of defense. He notes two German armies, the 5th Panzer under Manteuffel and the 6th under Dietrich, pressing forward as Allied troops resisted near Bastogne and St Vith. The piece discusses brutal, costly maneuvers and the necessity of holding lines sometimes by striking allied forces.
