Battle of the Bulge + 66

As someone pointed out to me in an EMail, today is the 66th Anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge.  It showed the Germans at their best and worst, especially with the murder of captures US soldiers at Malmandy, in Belgium.  It definitely showed the Americans at their best, from 101st U.S. Airborne Division Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe's "Nuts" to the German demand to surrender to General Patton's administratively excellent pivot and drive north—something he couldn't have done without excellent staff work.  For this battle, General Eisenhower had the coup d'oeil needed to make the proper choices.
