Boyle Fights Battle Again
New York columnist Hal Boyle revisits the Battle of the Bulge, explaining why commanders sometimes sacrifice their own troops to hold a position. He recalls the 5th Panzer army under von Manteuffel, the 6th under Dietrich, the Malmedy massacre, and Allied bombings failing to reach the town, illustrating the brutal calculus of war and the memory of a world-shaking clash remembered twenty years on.
