On December 20, 1944, German forces launched a surprise offensive against the Allies in the Ardennes. The US 101st Airborne Division swiftly mobilized to Bastogne, successfully staving off the Nazi advance. Their courageous stand provided critical time for General Patton's 3rd Army to reach the beleaguered town and reinforce the American troops, turning the tide in this pivotal battle of World War II.
