It’s so sad how many veterans had to shut themselves down after the war, so much they wouldn’t even speak with their families about it. All my respect and honor to every man, woman, kid that were on those long nights in those bloody years

At a 1970s factory job I met a fine older gent who'd been US infantry in this battle. A few days into it, his squad was ordered to hold a certain small hilltop overlooking an empty snowy field. For three nights young German infantry crossed the open field and tried to take the height, but they were mown down each time. When it was over he and his friends just couldn't believe the piles and number of Germans they had killed and how young they all were. He figured that they had had no choice but suicidal attack, yet he still shook his head in wonder at their bravery, and at the waste.

I grew up on a farm in Southwest Mississippi that was part of Camp Van Dorn. Used to find 30.06 shell casings everywhere and also, Native American spear heads and bird points from some other ancient form of conflict

These men were truly thr greatest generation. I just retired after 22 years of service and 7 combat deployments. I've had to push myself through some extremely difficult situations, but I wouldn't have made it through this battle. These men were on another level.

Chris Weidner

That’s an embarrassing story. I entered as a PFC. worked my way up to E5. Went to OCS. On my second tour in Korea fell in love with an enlisted woman. Oopsie. In my arrogant, pigheaded, self aggrandizing logic. I thought certainly a combat veteran infantry officer wouldn’t/couldn’t lose his career if found dating an enlisted female with zero connections to infantry. Long story short; because of my strong career, I was allowed to resign in lieu of courts martial. 12.7 years shot. A career I loved. Gone. Ah, but perhaps the reason was that a few of the officers I served with didn’t make it in future operations. I taught high school in Miami. Then taught 14 years in Vietnam, where I met my wife. Currently I am working for the VA and taking care of my dad. All good. Buying back my military time so a pension, albeit small, awaits in 2.7 years. All the best to you and yours. Continue to speak out for our dear Republic. Enjoy every day.

@Chris WeidnerI appreciate the kind words, especially coming from a Veteran. Thank you. Did you make a career out of it? I've watched you infantry boys do some unbelievable stuff to save a lot of guys like me. Y'all are cut from a different cloth, you have to be to walk into an area knowing damn good and well you're going to experience mortars being dial in on you, rocket attacks, and small arm fire.. with that being said, thank you for your service, Sir.

My father was in the battle as a 82nd paratrooper armed with a Thomson. The only question I asked him about the war was how many Germans did he kill. Twenty was his answer. Never asked him anything else about the war and he never talked about it. Just a badass was at peace with himself.

I find it amazing that the critically injured guys were eventually taken care of in German Hospitals. With all the accounts of how chaotic Germany was and low on supplies its just surprising to me. (And glad)

Medics were pretty much universal and no wounded men got turned away. I’ve read how the Germans were very respectful of medics and nurses because they were treated the same as if they were Americans. As awful as everything was, the times were very different then. Germans weren’t all Nazis and many, late in the war, just wanted to go home. They were treated like ‘cannon fodder,’ for lack of a better term, and they made young boys and older men fight.

I had two uncle's in the paratroopers, 101st and the 82nd, one had talked about being sent to the front line "without even a stick to fight with!" Both hardly ever talked about it. The oldest, told his younger brothers, survival stratgies, don't ever hangout in groups, on the line and you can't be ordered to do something suicidal, but you can't say "No!"
He was ordered to setup his MG. to fire on an MG 42, he told the captain, (FNG) "If I do that I'll be killed!" The Capt. had another soldier setup, who was cut to pieces, the new Capt. Step back, top of his head was blown away.
Both survived, the whole war, minor wounds, miracle statistically.

This was a really close run battle.
In fact it was that close my dad who was in the Royal Navy got orders to take the Lewis gun off his landing craft and go with his crew to a cross roads and cover it as the Germans may be heading to Antwerp any day

One thing I have a hard time understanding, his how you can mow down your enemy and then stand up and surrender to the friends you guys just shot down. Seems to me you have to make a calculation before the battle, if you are out manuevered just surrender rather than let many people on both sides getting killed. Of course you can only do with where POWs are treated well.

You have many amazing delights ahead in that case. Audible has some awesome titles and if you use credits for books they cost around a fiver each... For sure worth the free sample they usually offer new users... I love ww1 and ww2 history and there are some superb titles narrated as well as any radio or tv drama / documentary. The list of top actors reading audiobooks is longer every day.

My father was also at the Ardennes. As a kid when I asked what he did in the war he would say, "I played poker." I guess he did because he sent enough money home to buy into the family business here in Detroit.
We have his discharge papers now. Sgt. Steven Dellopoulos. Five Bronze stars.
Normandy, Ardennes, Western Europe, Rhineland to Berlin. Mom told us after he died that he had frostbite, common in Ardennes, and spent months in hospital in Belgium, doctors wanted to amputate his leg but just back to the war once healed enough. If you knew my old man, no one was taking his leg.
I think real WWII vets often did not talk about the war. He was about 19 when he enlisted and I am certain it was the worst time of his life. He had no use for the memories. He even through his medals away. He did keep a German luger, sold when retired. The pride to know he fought against fascism I will take to my grave. How he thought about the war was up to him. Mom has passed and I also have copies of his love letters to her. There were a ton of em! All sweet and romantic, I wish they were still like that when we were growing up.
He did answer one question. "Why would you guys fight each other?"
"Because we were stupid kids."
That is all I have. Four years in the Army. I cannot imagine any of it.

EmpireFoodie

If I remember correctly, the Army has a service they provide to surviving family members to replace lost medals and citations so you can get a better idea of your Dad's part in the war.

That was truly an old breed of human they don't make men like that anymore . Im Proud of all the nazis he killed , even though he was only 1st generation German , he always said it'd be them or him . I always think of him every day and lesson he taught me in my young life .

Whilst this is an interesting account, it is spoiled by the clear and blatant ahistorical bias against the British. Nonsense such as ‘only 1/10th of the soldiers fighting in Europe were British’ and the description of the RAF bombing campaign as ‘terror bombing’.

I managed nearly six hours before I switched off. These ‘facts’ have long been disproved and the entire narrative is spoiled by them being trotted out time and again.

My grandfather went into action in 1941 and fought in North Africa, Italy and Northwest Europe. He was wounded numerous times and suffered from malaria and PTSD for the rest of his life. He never truly recovered from the war and died much younger than any of his siblings.

To hear his and his fellow soldiers sacrifice and suffering so casually dismissed by so called ‘allies’ is sickening.

At the point where the American soldiers were in a field, about to be killed, I couldn't listen any more. War is horrific.

@Dean Timberlake That's OK, thanks, some brutality is difficult to process. I got to the point where I knew what was coming next (as I knew it actually happened) and felt the description might be too graphic.
Having read what the Wehrmacht did in combination with the SS and local police and the Einsatzgruppen as they rolled over Poland and other states, east of Germany, I've had enough for now.

You can sure tell the Battle of the bulge was an American battle. The victors write the history has never been more true than in the case of this nothing burger "battle." In WW2, it's not even top 20 in terms of significance. Even Hitler himself, in his over the edge delusion knew there was nothing to it. It wasn't--one single bit--designed as an attempt to turn the tide in the west. All it was, was Hitler's attempt to slow the allies down enough for them to realize that the Russians were going to get to Berlin first, and the fantasy hope by Hitler that the allies would join the Nazis to make sure Russia didn't take all of Eastern Europe, Germany....and probably more. The Americans have spun the Battle of the bulge into some kind of monumental battle, when it reality is was a complete joke compared to at least half a dozen battles in the East. Sorry, to all the Americans reading this, but it's true.

Even here? Good grief, I'm part of a cancer it seems.

Midnight Rider

Supprised aband of brothers wasn't made about these rather than 101st as seems these saw more action here

Pinche Spiderman

@Midnight Rider Even quantitatively the implication of your second post is mistaken, see my tldr post above. Even speaking in terms of volume the 101st put in more fighting than one platoon of the 99th who, although fighting Germans 10 hours longer than I did, also took at least 2 fewer towns, killed significantly fewer Germans, and destroyed significantly fewer 105mm howitzers.
I think that a depiction of I&R 394's war experience would be very interesting if done correctly. At the expense of a purely imaginary dismissal of BoB? No not really.

Pinche Spiderman

@Midnight Rider So let's address my single problem with your original post first, which was where you said, "rather" meaning that instead of E 2/506 the band of brothers series should have been about I&R 394. I disagree with your vision.
Because:

Midnight Rider

@Pinche Spiderman because films aren't always about the volume of things achieved are they, its more about the fight in the dog not how long the dog can fight for, I know this is a bizarre thought but maybe they could make a film that condensed things down so it's not actually in real time?

Pinche Spiderman

Even if you count the POW experience as action, which would be unusual, E 2/506 PIR entered combat- via combat parachute drop, mind you- 6 1/2 months before I&R 394 Inf. heard a shot fired in anger. By Dec 1944 they had fought
through 2 theater significant campaigns, captured territory, and fought enemy armor.
2/506 was still in the line for 2 months after I&R 394's TEN HOURS of combat. During that time they also captured 2 towns in the face of stiff opposition. Although not under POW conditions, they were in the war until the very end and took combat casualties.
What exactly caused you to take such a bizarre point of view?
