Relief of Bastogne - December 20, 1944 - December 27, 1944

The siege of Bastogne is one chapter in the history of the Battle of the Ardennes. On December 16th, 1944, the Germans launched their greatest offensive of the war in the west. Achieving considerable success in their first attacks, they broke through, penetrated 65 miles into Allied territory, and threatened the entire front in the west.
