On the night of 15 December 1944, General Eisenhower at SHAEF HQ celebrated the news that he had just been given his fifth star. That same night, an army of 250,000 men with 2,000 pieces of artillery and a thousand tanks awaited the hour to attack. This was the night that Hitlers armies exploded against inexperienced and unprepared US troops in the first shattering blow of the Battle of the Bulge.
