A week aftpr Ihe "buH'c," the
situation was all but hopeless.

Had this fine old workhorse ar

Itmuicdt fashion, the. entire nit
nation could have been lost, his
torians painted out.
Despite it pulling back and
si me units "going to pieces,"
many brave companies and rcfi
iments itor.d last and fought oft
four and five to one odds to the
titter end. "Live cowardi" be
cinic "dead heroes."
Tide of Battlt
For the first two to three
v.eeks of the campaign's fury the
tide if battle ehhed and flowed
in some scattered sections of the
Ardennes Forest. On the north
ern shoulder of (he "bulge" my
division at Elsenbtrn stood stub
born and fast for four days un
til the main German pincer had
driven even deeper. The orders
came through to fiiiht cur way
back to the rear. This' one en
gagement by the Second earned
the division the Belgium Kouria
Eire, but the decimated compan
ies were too tired and weary to
take heed of the high honor.
The third week of action saw
the fighting slowing, and when
leaden clouds floated away the
Air Force took charge upstairs
For the advancing- German lines

the wall. Entire panzer columns.
dozens of tanks almost bumper to
Jumper, were bombed by Yank
pirmen who had cuftcd the two
weeks of non-flying weather.
Wolfgang also had strained his
supply lines a bit too far. He was
running low on gas, nis ammu
nition was not getting through
and he was beginning- to feel
like hungry Americans when his
rations slacked off.
Spearhead Blunted
The fourth week of the break
through was the beginning of the
end lor the Wehrmacht. Its deep
est spearhead had been blunted
and its thrusts all along the sal
ient were weaker. In despera
tion, Runstedt ordered his Panz
. ers and Volksgrenadiers to pull
back and regroup.
The entire Ardennes resemb
led a spring thaw., for not only
- was in e snow beginufng to melt
' from the sun's rays, but ulso the
enco disheartened Yanks took
heart up and down the lines and
began counterattacks.'
Patton, to the south, was on
the move. Montgomery, to the
north, broke through. And for
the first time there were possi
hie smiles on the faces of Eisen
hower and Gen. Bradley. "
The American route had been
reversed and the shoe was on
Wolfgang's other foot.
