In December 1944, when Allied forces seemed to have decisively turned the tide in World War II, the German Army mounted one last major attack, which became one of the bloodiest battles of the war -- 80,000 American soldiers died, and German casualties were estimated at twice that figure.

Famed journalist Walter Cronkite, who made his name with reports from the battle, offers a thoroughly insightful recollection of the conflict with this release.
