Having achieved surprise in their new offensive through the Ardennes, the Panzer units must maintain a fast pace to take Antwerp before the Allies can deploy reinforcements to the region. At St Vith and the approaches to Bastogne, fierce American resistance is hurting German progress. Kampfgruppe Peiper have a difficult time navigating the small villages and bridges of the Ardennes with their immense Tiger 2 and Panther tanks.

Harper should have been awarded the Medal of Honor period. I can only imagine watching your platoon getting destroyed infront of you and decide to push towards the stronger and better armed enemy to give your men a better chance to retreat , knowing the chance of surviving are slim. 17 Sherman tanks seem a lot to hold off an enemy push, but watching them get destroyed one by one must have been really frightening.

That's what I said. I feel like he knew exactly what was gonna happen. Even if he didn't know his end was coming, he still selflessly threw his life away for his men. To me, that's beyond deserving of our nation's highest award. It takes balls to stare death in the face and be willing to lay down your life. I'd like to believe that he got to see his men get out before he passed. I hope he knew his men got away and that his sacrifice wasn't for nothing. Getting all teary eyed writing this cause it's men like him, who didn't come home, that are the reason millions of people were freed from Nazi oppression. Rest easy Sir, you truly went above and beyond.

Americans fought really bravely with extraordinary initiatives from junior ranks. That blowing up bridges in the middle of night in some kinda stealth fashion was incredible. Being a keyboard warrior, I had imagined at the time of a conflict, training, good logistics, leadership within the rank and file, spirit de corps were way more important than ideologies. Cruelty does not equate to bravery. Being harsh with prisoners of war or civilians does not mean they can fight an equal peer who could shoot back with ferocity.

What gives me chills is that Stavelot, Malmedy, and Spa are part of the famous Spa-Francochamps racing circuit. Most roads that were used for racing in the post-war era are depicted here. Now the circuit is a lot different, but soma parts are still called Stavelot and Malmedy...
@MsZeeZed
@MsZeeZed Год назад
6:20 - On this terrain map I can see, directly North of Peiper, between Stavelot & Malmedy, the outline of the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. This is a bonus and provides great context for anyone who has watched the Belgian Grand Prix held here each year in August, as its one of the most filmed valleys in the area, known for its extreme gradients and wild weather. Even on a clear summer’s day you could hide half an army in the woods around the next bend in the road or find yourself at a cliff edge if you go cross-country. The camouflage advantages in snow & fog would be dramatic, but any German soldier who knew the ground must have known it would be impossible to move so quickly through this defended terrain in winter.

Formula 1 fans: Starting at 6:10 if you look closely, the Spa-Francorchamps circuit can be seen. The modern version of the circuit didn't exist back then but you can see the profile of it here. What is more easily seen is part of the old big track that used public roads. The road with the big curve just west of Malmedy that connects down to Stavelot was part of the old big track.

My great uncle was at this battle, but he barely talked about his service or the war generally. He just wanted to read the paper, watch baseball and go to church. When prompted, the only story he told was that one night during the Battle of the Bulge it was his turn to dig his commander's foxhole. He dug it so deep the commander yelled at him: "I didn't tell you to dig me a grave John!". He said that night the Germans shelled them harder than he'd ever experienced before or after [he landed at Normandy on D-Day +6 and fought across the entirety of France and afterward into Germany]. The next morning, his commander apologized and thanked him and he didn't have fox hole duty after that. After he passed away, his wife showed me a large glass-topped box full of medals and said he was one of the most highly decorated men in his unit but he never displayed his medals or brought it up to anyone, even his family. His time in the service eventually caused his death later in life due to emphysema from the cigarettes he got addicted to in the service. The son of proud Italian immigrants, he volunteered to serve. Rest in peace sir.

Not every American was taken by surprise by the German attack. Various intelligence officers could see the buildup and figured something big was happening. One of those was Patton's G2 officer, a former NYC detective I believe, who brought it to Patton's attention. Patton said he did not think it meant much at the time but made contingency plans to move to deal with it anyway, just in case. That was why he was able to move his army so quickly. His staff had already done the work. BTW Patton's staff had a poor reputation within the Army up to that time.

We need to turn this thing around, and I've just the trick. Remember a few years back when we blitzkrieged through the Ardennes and trapped the Allied forces in Belgium? Well, I'm gonna do the exact same thing... again - oversimplified, WW2

Your videos really help to understand what went on and timeline the Bulge battles happened. I've seen all the movies, watched numerous documentaries, but never understood the whole scope until your videos. A good friend's father was a Captain with the 820th Tank Destroyer Battalion, but he refused to talk about it with anyone including his own family. He only said "I don't want to relive the memories", and that was it. I tried unsuccessfully over the years to interview him and record his story for the National WWII Museum oral history program. He took his story to his grave at age 90.

The details of the attack are truly impressive and a very important part of American history. The brave sacrifice of Harper and his men had been lost to history as well as the attack and destruction of the bridge. If the Germans had taken Bastogne and it's fuel, who knows what would have happened? Great job.

7:23 I wish one day we get a super realistic VR world war two game that shows battles like these. Not D-Day like we've seen oh so many times before, but little battles like those that may seem small and needless, but still makes you feel accomplished

That bridge assault was probably incorporated into the "Private Ryan'" script.

7:32 that German solider on the bridge up front that was killed was running pretty fast, I guess that Wolfenstein research finally showed its use.
