Voices from the Battle of the Bulge by Nigel De Lee

Hitler's ambitious plans to force two Panzer armies through to take the vital port of Antwerp, separating the British and American forces could have resulted in a second Dunkrik. This would have bought him time to launch a full-scale assault on Britain with his 'miracle weapons'. A wide selection of contemporary voices, from diaries, letters, archives and eye witness accounts from all sides of the battle bring history to life. Collected here are the voices of soldiers, next to the formidable narratives of General Eisenhower, General Montgomery and Adolf Hitler, as well as the recollections of the civilians who stood witness to this piece of history.
Nigel de Lee has taught war studies at Sandhurst, Camberley, history at the US Naval Academy, Annapolis and Operations and Tactics at the Krigsskolen in Oslo as well as working for twenty years as an interviewer for the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive. He is currently teaching in the Politics Department at the University of Hull and is preparing to teach at the Joint Services Command and Staff College at Watchfield. He lives in Beverley, East Yorkshire.
