The resulting battle, known as the Battle of the Bulge, stands as one of the bloodiest chapters in American history. In this book, Christer Bergström, one of the most renowned Swedish experts on the Second World War, presents spectacular, previously unpublished photographs of the winter fighting. The Allies' efforts to conceal the true American losses, the legends invented by German generals after the war, the numerous tanks "forgotten" during the Battle of the Bulge, and the exceptional preparation of the German offensive — all are revealed in this truly groundbreaking work. The author undertook meticulous research, met veterans, and travelled to and studied the sites over many years. Our understanding of the Battle of the Bulge is here entirely renewed. With 400 photographs, many never previously published, numerous detailed maps, and tank and aircraft profiles by Claes Sundin, this is an essential reference work on the subject.
