Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Höfen was defended by 395th Inf Rgt of the 99th Inf Div. Never ever did Kampfgruppe Peiper attacked these men / units. I haven't read the book, but only by the introduction, I need to pick up my jaw, and say, this is a fiction, must be, cause it has nothing to do with reality.

The Battle of the Bulge is a combat and tour-of-duty biography about First Lt. George W. Looney, a forward artillery observer in the 196th U.S. Field Artillery. George Looney never told anyone his story after he came home from the war in 1945. Using his personal notes and documents, his son Michael Looney has written a fascinating book on his father's experiences. On December 17, 1944, George began calling the 196th's artillery fire on the attacking Germans. Little did he know the attackers were Joachim Pieper's SS Blow Torch Battalion. Hitler ordered Pieper to take the crossroads and other roads in the Hofen area at all costs. George Looney stopped them with four days of nearly nonstop artillery fire by himself. He was protected in his third-story house window by a large American infantry battalion. A riveting story, greatly illustrated with George's own photos, maps, and numerous unseen Battle of the Bulge combat photos.
