Bastogne, as you’ve never seen it before.

Even the most casual of historians know that the sleepy little village of Bastogne became the center of attention during the Battle of the Bulge in December of 1944. The First Division Museum in Catigny has an exhibit commemorating the battle opening tomorrow. In Lego!

    It is said the Belgians to this day are very, very thankful to Americans moreso even than the French who are not slackers in that department.

    So, where is the figure of McNulty telling the Krauts “nuts?”

    One would think there would be such a statue to BG McAuliffe. I love that part of the movie where the German officer asks what the American response was and is told “Nüssen” and the German Commander is utterly dumbfounded. Cracks me up every time…”Battle of the Bulge” w/Fonda, Ryan, Nielson, Bronson, and Ty Hardin if memory serves plus a youngish Robert Shaw as the point of the spear for the Germans…I think that’s the one.
