VOLUME 2, ISSUE 5 Page 2 Baseball and the Battle of the Bulge At 0530 on December 16, 1944, a massive artillery barrage was followed by three powerful German armies plunging into the hilly and heavily forested Ardennes region of eastern Belgium and northern Luxembourg. The result was the bloodiest of battles that US forces fought in Europe in WWII and soon became known as the Battle of the Bulge. Thinking the Ardennes was the least likely spot for a German offensive, American forces in the area were minimal and almost complete surprise was achieved. Within the first three days of battle, two of the US 106th Infantry Division’s three regiments were forced to surrender and the 19,000 American dead were unsurpassed by those of any other engagement. For the US Army, the battle incorporated more troops and engaged more enemy troops than any conflict before that time. However, in snow and sub-freezing temperatures the Germans failed to meet their objective - that of reaching the sprawling Meuse River on the edge of the Ardennes. All that they accomplished was to create a Bulge in the American line (hence the name “The Battle of the Bulge”). Ted Williams at War Bill Nowlin The Germans lost irreplaceable men, tanks and equipment, and on January 25, 1945, after heavy lossesRounder on both Books the $24.95 American and German sides, the Bulge ceased to exist.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will fin d a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Six Group B-17s aborted the mission: F #42-29894 Baltimore Bounce 359BS (Clifford) - The 427BS crew transferred to a spare aircraft and the pilot didn't have an oxygen mask. #42-5854 Alley Oop 360BS (Cogswell) and #42-5177 Fast Worker MK II 359BS (Hanselman) - The pilots thought they were short on gas. #42-5788 A.O.G.

The lead bombardier, 1Lt. Byron K. Butt, overshot the IP when industrial haze and smoke made it difficult to observe. After several right turns they were back on the bomb run course. Bombs were dropped using the bombsight after a 25-second bomb run. The fifteen remaining Group aircraft dropped 1,000-lb. bombs plus M47A1 incendiary bombs from 23,500 feet. Four aircraft also carried leaflets. The formation was escorted part of the way into enemy territory by P-47 fighters. However, for the roughest part of the trip–into Germany proper–the bombers flew unescorted.
