Overview:

The confrontation near Bastogne at the beginning of January 1945 appears to be a pivotal moment. The Germans, whose hopes of a quick victory in the Ardennes were dwindling, conceived a new plan, threatening Bastogne from an unexpected direction. Meanwhile, on the American side, Major General Robert W. Grow's 6th Armored Division receives orders that do not seem to correspond to the evolving situation. When the German counterattack struck on January 2, the outcome of the battle was up in the air. Will the Americans, despite their initial setbacks, manage to regain their footing, or will the German forces, which have regained strength, pose an even more serious threat? The fate of Bastogne, and perhaps that of the Ardennes countryside as a whole, is on the edge of the precipice.
