Forest Battles

By the first week of January, 1945, the massive Nazi offensive that had raged into the Belgian Ardennes was contained. The momentum in the Battle of the Bulge had shifted as the Allied counterattack forced the Germans back into the Fatherland. The fighting remained fierce both on the front line and within the German rear area. SS Colonel Karl Grabner is determined to wipe out troublesome local resistance. From the German headquarters in Meyerode, he leads his security battalion into the snow-covered forest. In their fortified camp, Lieutenant Arthur Hill and his audacious band of GIs are ready to take on the SS in the highest tradition of American heroism.
