Summary
As the ground is blown apart by mortar shells and an endless curtain of bullets rains down upon them, the mostly young, inexperienced, and exhausted Allied soldiers must take up arms against the Nazis. Blinded by dangerous blizzards and hampered by the rough terrain, they fight to hold their positions until reinforcements arrive.
But deadly weather conditions and the suprise attack make matters difficult, and soon, the Allied forces are overwhelmed — outmanned, outgunned, and underprepared.
As winter continues and the Battle of the Bulge rages on, it will take an unprecedented combination of determination, grit, and unimaginable courage to thwart the Nazi's plans and defeat them, once and for all.
