Monschau's Lucky 38th - Paperback

by Jason Boswell (Author)

On December 16th, 1944, Nazi Germany conducted a surprise attack on Allied formations in the Ardennes Forrest later becoming known as The Battle of the Bulge. Along the northern shoulder, the US 38th Cavalry Squadron defended the small German town of Monschau. An analysis of what made the 38th Cavalry Squadron three day defence at Monschau successful, even after being surrounded and outnumbered 23 to 1, adds to the greater understanding of the Allied victory.
