Battle of Bastogne 1944 / Part 2 – Ardennes Offensive

The German offensive in Ardennes caught the Americans by surprise. However, the American troops quickly recovered from the initial shock and put out stiff resistance against forces many times their size. Right on the path of the German 5th Panzer Army, holding over the 20 kilometres long line east of Bastogne, were three regiments of the 28th Infantry Division. For three days, the men of the 28th Division resisted an overwhelming attacking force buying time before reinforcements arrived to prepare the defense of Bastogne.
