Peebles Reflects on the Battle of the Bulge Remembered
A 1944 yearbook passage recalls Hitler's last major offensive in the Ardennes starting December 17. German forces broke through to Belgium, driving the U.S. 1st Army back and creating a 60 mile bulge before Allied lines were restored by January 1945. More than 50,000 American casualties marked the fight and sacrifice is honored.
