BMMHS Zoom Afternoon Talk: Battle of the Bulge
Battle of the Bulge
Speaker: Peter Caddick-Adams

Tuesday 7th December 2021; 2:00pm
Battle of the Bulge
‘The Battle of the Bulge’, the battle for the Ardennes 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945. This is an utterly fascinating five weeks when for a time it looked like Hitler had outflanked the allied armies pushing toward the Rhine and might just throw them back to the Normandy beaches. It is also the context for the catastrophic events at Bastogne depicted so graphically in Band of Brothers.
