My Father was in the 11th Armored Div, CCB halftracks at the Battle of the Bulge.
He told me the the Red Cross tried to sell them the coffee after the fight and back at the rear for repairs.
Dad said there Tracs commander (a Sergeant) convinced them that the coffee was free, at the business end of a Thompson.

Except for the Thompson bit...:^) my wife's uncle who was also in the Battle of the Bulge said exactly the same thing.
He also praised the Salvation Army.
