Remembrance 3

Hitler and his Nazi regime thought up and carried out the evil of the concentration camps in Europe. If they had not lost World War II, how much more evil could they have brought on the world? All the suffering, all the stealing of lives and property, in order to dominate people and their nations. 

But they were defeated. The Allies finally defeated them. At terrible cost. 

Battle of the Bulge was won of the worst. Thirty German divisions attacked Americans in the Ardennes forest of France over a period of six winter weeks, trying to divide them from their French and British allies. This last major Nazi offensive failed, and led to Allied victory.

The 75th anniversary of the end of the Battle of the Bulge was just four days ago. 

Americans suffered 100,000 casualties - the costliest battle of the U.S. Army. Ever.
