The Tigers Of Bastogne Voices Of The 10th Armored Division In The Battle Of The Bulge Michael Collins Martin King by Michael Collins & Martin King 9781612001821, 1612001823, B00D8H88D8 instant download after payment.

The gallant stand of the 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne has long
become part of historical and media legend. But how many students of the
war realize there was already a U.S. unit holding the town when they
arrived? And this unit—the 10th Armored Division—continued to play a
major role in its defense throughout the German onslaught.
In The Tigers of Bastogne, authors King and Collins finally detail
the travails of this young armored division, which had only arrived in
Europe that fall, yet found itself subject to the full brunt of
Manteuffel’s Fifth Panzer Army in the Ardennes. At first overwhelmed,

single inch of ground not earned with blood.
General Anthony McAuliffe, of the 101st Airborne (and “Nuts” fame),
said, “It seems regrettable to me that Combat Command B of the 10th
Armored Division didn’t get the credit it deserved at the battle of
Bastogne. All the newspaper and radio talk was about the paratroopers.
Actually the 10th Armored Division was in there a day before we were and
had some very hard fighting before we ever got into it.”
Fortunately, in this book, the historical record is finally
corrected. With their trademark style, King and Collins, through their
firsthand interviews with veterans, bring us straight into the combats
of the 10th Armored, equaling the balance between the the…
