December 1944, was a month that would be forever seared into John Schaffner's memory. In the early days of the Battle of the Bulge John would find himself facing insurmountable odds as he, and his fellow Americans, were tasked with holding the crossroads in the town of Barraque de Fraiture against attacks from German troops including the 2nd SS Panzer Division. In this video you can hear John's moving testimony as he recounts the events that took place during that fierce battle. You will also be able to view the areas that John refers to in the video and see how they look today compared to that cold December 76 years ago.
May we never forget the sacrifices that John and his fellow soldiers paid for the freedoms that we enjoy today. 🥀
During the Battle of the Bulge, Nick was only 20 years old when he lost his friend and squad leader, Orlando J.Ricci. In this moving video, Nick recounts the tragic event that took place exactly 76 years ago, on December 26th, 1944, a day he would never forget.
With this video, we hope to pay tribute to these brave men who gave so much for us.
