I’d say Mariupol is more like the Alamo than Bastogne. With what we got to offer those folks I’d say they are effed. IMO

Agreed. But they either fight to the death and die within honor. Or get captured and slaughtered by the Russians. If they decide to play nice, they'll be sent to a gulag in Siberia.

At Malmedy the Germans machine gunned our men. It was a bad idea, it bit the Germans in the arse. Led to Bastogne, they held for Patton and our C-47’s. I don’t think that’s in play here. Not if all we got is Brandon. Travis was hoping for Houston. The help didn’t get there. It was a galvanizing event. We’ll see what happens here.
