Summary

In December 1944, when the Germans launched the Battle of the Bulge, they desperately needed to capture the Belgian city of Bastogne. The city's defense by the 101st Airborne is often cited as the battle's most desperate and dramatic episode, but these heroics never could have happened if not for the unsung efforts of others.
