On December 16, 1944, German military forces launched a surprise counter-offensive against the United States Army in the Ardennes Forest in Belgium. The attack, which penetrated deeply into American lines, became known to history as the Battle of the Bulge.
One of the American soldiers who faced this Nazi onslaught was a 20-year-old citizen-soldier from Pine Grove, Pennsylvania named Irvin Schwartz.
In this episode of the Public History podcast, we explore this soldier’s experience as an anti-tank gunner during the Battle of the Bulge through the letters he wrote home about his experience in World War II.
