Supposedly, that winter of 44-45 was the coldest in 75 years.

Dad absolutely hated the winter. I suppose it was because of that. His statement was “Never been that cold before or since.”

He used to flip out whenever the 1966 movie “Battle of the Bulge” came on. He’d go on a rant... “There was no sun... there was no giant tank battle.... there was snow, cold and the whole g-damn German army...” He hated that movie, ha!

Said “Battleground” (1949) was the closest to what he remembered.

I've said many times it's the worst war movie, I've ever seen.
