Autor Frank van Lunteren
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 apr 2022
In December 1944 an enormous German army group crashed through the thin American line in the Ardennes forest.

Notă biografică

Frank van Lunteren was born and raised in Arnhem, the Netherlands. While studying history in Nijmegen, in the spring of 2001, he established contact with a WWII veteran of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Shortly after he graduated as a historian, Van Lunteren was guest speaker at the August 2007 Convention of the 504th PIR Association. There, veteran Francis Keefe (1924-2021) asked him to write "a book on the entire regiment."

The research process of over twenty years culminated in five volumes: Birth of a Regiment (May 1942-September 1943), Spearhead of the Fifth Army (September 1943-April 1944), The Battle of the Bridges (April 1944-November 1944), Blocking Kampfgruppe Peiper (November 1944-February 1945), End of an Odyssey (February 1945-January 1946). From activation to the New York Victory Parade, Colonel Reuben Tucker's troopers are followed throughout World War II.
