Description
On 20 December, Panzer ‘Lehr’ maintained its siege of Bastogne, attacked the American paratroopers and armoured vehicles of Combat Team O’Hara, and tried several times to capture the burning village, which they succeeded in occupying. The village was finally liberated on 9 January ’45. Meanwhile, the civilian population had paid a heavy price in lost human lives and in destruction. (text source by Guy Blockmans/OPT)
