The gallant stand of the 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne has long become part of historical and media legend. But how many students of the war realize there was already a U.S. unit holding the town when they arrived? And this unitthe 10th Armored Divisioncontinued to play a major role in its defense throughout the German onslaught.In The Tigers of Bastogne, authors King and Collins finally detail the travails of this young armored division, which had only arrived in Europe that fall, yet found itself subject to the full brunt of Manteuffels Fifth Panzer Army in the Ardennes.
At first overwhelmed, and then falling back to protect the vital crossroads, the 10th Armored was reinforced (not saved) by the Screaming Eagles, and its men and tanks went on to contribute largely to Americas victory in its largest battle of the war.The 10th Armored had only arrived in Europe that September, as part of Pattons Third Army, and their divisional motto, Terrify and Destroy, was somewhat belied by the onslaught of Nazi panzers that burst across no-mans-land on December 16.
Instead their nickname, The Tiger Division, became fully earned, as they went on the defensive at Bastogne, surrounded by an entire German army, yet refused to concede a single inch of ground not earned with blood.General Anthony McAuliffe, of the 101st Airborne (and Nuts fame), said, It seems regrettable to me that Combat Command B of the 10th Armored Division didnt get the credit it deserved at the battle of Bastogne.
All the newspaper and radio talk was about the paratroopers. Actually the 10th Armored Division was in there a day before we were and had some very hard fighting before we ever got into it.Fortunately, in this book, the historical record is finally corrected. With their trademark style, King and Collins, through their firsthand interviews with veterans, bring us straight into the combats of the 10th Armored, equaling the balance between the brave paratroopers and gallant tankers who, together, held off Germanys last major offensive in the West.
