11 days in December / Weintraub, Stanley

It was truly a white Christmas in the Ardennes Forest in 1944, but that was cold comfort to the Allied soldiers trying to stop the Nazis from retaking Belgium in one of the most decisive battles of World War II. While a German loudspeaker taunted, "How would you like to die for Christmas?" the Allied forces dug in, despite freezing conditions. They needed a miracle.

Provides excepts from wartime diaries and postwar memoirs to describe the experiences and feelings of both German and Allied soldiers in December 1944 at the Battle of the Bulge.
