Ex-library copy. The Spellmount Siegfried Line Series, Volume 7. The German attack in late 1944 on the Alsace-Lorraine front seen through the eyes of the young men "at the sharp end". Three SS and five Army divisions attacked the thinly held American line and, despite 'Ultra' intelligence from Bletchley, the US units were forced to retreat. American troops fought for their lives in the snow bound hills and it looked as if the Franco-American alliance might be broken apart when Eisenhower ordered the evacuation of Strasbourg despite protests from De Gaulle.
