Download or read book Battle of the Bulge written by Jean Paul Pallud and published by After the Battle. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 1553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This WWII pictorial history presents an in-depth study of Hitler’s epic, final offensive campaign. In December of 1944, nine days before Christmas, Hitler played Germany’s last card on which he staked everything to turn the tables in the West. In this densely illustrated volume, military historian Jean Paul Pallud examines the entire salient with ‘then and now’ photographs. Hundreds of miles have been traveled by the author throughout every corner of the battlefield to search out the scenes of past events — every known photograph belonging to combatants, civilians, and in public collections and private sources has been sought or considered. All available film has been examined frame by frame and certain sequences illustrated and analyzed. This painstaking process offers a vividly detailed look at the famous battle. A number of classic pictures used — or misused — in depicting the conflict are placed in their true context, often revealing them to be very different from what they seem!

Then I have watched as Time slowly ravaged that world once more into dangerous territory. But I will not forget. We are known as the Greatest Generation, and I sincerely hope they are wrong. My life has led me through an incredible journey that has taught me what it truly means to live. The people I have known will forever live on through the words that I now write, and maybe, just maybe, those that follow will learn from our mistakes, embrace our successes, and better endure the trials they will undoubtedly face in the future.
