To be fair, after 1940 they weren’t going to be building defenses against the Germans until 1946, so 1944 was hardly their fault. As much as I don’t want to give them a pass on it.

Lieutenant Lyle Bouck and his 394th I&R platoon [99th ID] didn't give the Germans a pass on it.

Peiper showed up personally - fortunately, the Fuhrer's little helpers [Pervitin] hadn't kicked in yet...

Yeah. But three times! 1914, 1940 and 1944.
