I have taken a class on Battle of the Bulge while in the netherlands, and walked the trails they fought on. We drove the route of one of the tank regiments reacting to the attack from Hoensbroek to Bastonge.

My great-uncle was there during the bulge and had a story of a jeep trying to pass him late one night, he didn't let it and next day found out there were germans riding in american jeeps and shooting the drivers as they passed them. He never knew if the jeep trying to pass was germans or not, but had a deauce and a half and they were a lot smaller than him
