The second time this posting has been wrong on the end of the War of 1812. The Treaty of Ghent was signed a year earlier on December 24, 1814 and the Battle of New Orleans soon followed on January 8, 1815. By the date in this article, the war had been over for nearly a year.

The untold story of The Bulge is the delaying action by thinly deployed Army divisions, east of Bastogne, between the Germans and Bastogne.

The 28th Division (PA National Guard) was written off as destroyed in action in about three days of fighting while the 101st Airborne and other armored and artillery assets moved into position in Bastogne, and they weren't alone in holding their place in the face of the Germans.
