The Battle of Bastogne was a crucial engagement in the larger Battle of the Bulge, and it was fought between the German Army and the Allied forces. The book includes first-hand accounts from soldiers who were present during the battle, as well as maps and photographs that help to illustrate the events that took place. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the battle, including the strategies employed by both sides, the challenges faced by the soldiers, and the ultimate outcome of the engagement. Overall, Bastogne The First Eight Days is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about this pivotal moment in World War II history.Colonel Harper, commanding the 327th, went with Jones to Division Headquarters. The two German officers were left with Captain Adams. Members of the staff were grouped around General McAuliffe when Harper and Jones arrived.5 McAuliffe asked someone what the paper contained and was told that it requested a surrender. He laughed and said, Aw, nuts! It really seemed funny to him at the time. He figured he was giving the Germans one hell of a beating and that all of his men knew it. The demand was all out of line with the existing situation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
