I once had the honor and privilege of an open and frank discussion with an U.S. Army WWII veteran who lived thru that epic winter ordeal and survived "The Battle of the Bulge". His words were filled with genuinely earnest and heart stopping emotion in relating an unforgettable description of what these men endured.
It was indeed a miracle that he survived and lived. This man found himself alone in a frozen winter foxhole somewhere in that forest on Christmas Eve of 1944... with the few fellow G.I. soldiers around him already dead from either Nazi German offensive firepower... or fatally succumbed to the record low and bitter freezing cold temperatures as they faced.
