Richard and his team have created a compelling reselling of the Battle of the Bulge.with this outing. You really get a sense of what it was like to be there in December 1944. It is done all in the first person on the actual locations and in December. It is a close-up, gritty, emotional experience. In this time of no heroes, ignorance of history, this is a shining example of what can be done with a little creativity and imagination.
Anyone who does not know about the Battle of the Bulge should see this docudrama as it will answer any questions you might have about the battle as well as bring the story of the common soldier-the grunt, ground pounder, the combat infantryman to life.
Make sure not to pass this one up!
