GRAPHIC HISTORY: HITLER'S LAST GAMBLE GN
by Dan Abnett & Dheeraj Verma
Planned down to the last detail by Hitler himself, the Battle of the Bulge was
the last major German attack on the Western Front. On December 16, 1944, 30
German divisions roared through the Ardennes. The battle that ensued nearly
proved disastrous for the Allied forces, with some of the harshest fighting
conditions of the war. Under-strength, under-equipped and operating in freezing
temperatures, the U.S. Army — notably the 101st stationed in Bastogne — fought
back, extinguishing German hopes for victory. Featuring first-hand accounts that
give the narrative a profoundly human element, this action-packed comic strip
provides readers of all ages with a vivid re-creation of the attack, remembered
as the biggest and bloodiest single battle ever to be fought by the U.S. Army in
World War II. (C: 1-1-2) NOTE: Not available in Germany.
