About the Book
During the Ardennes Offensive, Kampfgruppe Peiper ran out of fuel in the village of La Gleize and was surrounded by the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division, 3rd Armored Division, and 30th Infantry Division. The book covers the fighting around the resulting perimeter and the parallel efforts of the rest of 1. SS-Panzer-Division to break through and relieve the encircled battlegroup.
