By late December of 1944, the German offensive through the Ardennes had reached it's high water mark and the Americans had begun to push them back. Entering into the fray was the 26th Infantry Division who was tasked with cutting a German supply route to Bastogne in a place called Schumann's Eck.

"This is a very powerful telling of this

story. That path in the woods looks different to you once you realize you have passed actual foxholes. And the ordnance looks as it would have looked if you happened on it. There wouldn't be any display cases to tell you anything about the object in front of you! Scary stuff."
