1) When a sack of coal from Santa really isn't enough.

2) "He knows when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake." Or else.

3) No more Santa Nice Guy.

Dont forget British troops fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Not Royal Marines, but XXX Corps, infantry and the SAS.

Get ‘The Battle of the Bulge: Britain’s Untold Story’ by military historian Charles Whiting, if you can.

I just finished reading “Dunkirk: The Patriotic Myth” by Nicholas Harman. I miss the Ft. Leavenworth Library, where I had access to all sorts of newspapers and other available reading materials from the European theater. There were stacks of little known stories there more than I( had time to read.
