Battle of the Bulge - Panzer Leader Meeting Engagement – Christmas 1944
Join Oriskany Jim and Bill (Sitrep 6) for a rare look of two armored spearheads hitting each other in simultaneous advances. The example we’re looking at is the counterattack of 2nd US Armored Division against faltering forward elements of 2nd Panzer Division near Celles, Belgium in December 1944, recreated (in part) in Avalon Hill’s Panzer Leader.
This was the very apex of the German advance during the infamous “Battle of the Bulge” – widely regarded as the largest single engagement in the history of the United States Army.
