This thorough documentary, prepared by the US Army's Pictorial Center after the war, combines excellent archival film footage, comprehensive maps and in depth interviews with key 10th Armored personnel from Commanding General William H.H. Morris down the chain of command to front line NCOs. The 10th entered the fierce fighting in France near the Fortress of Metz in November 1945. In December they turned North to counter the German thrust in the Battle of the Bulge, covering Third Armies right flank. The 10th's Combat Command B was one of the units surrounded with the 101st Airborne in defense of the critical road junction of Bastogne. 101st Commander General Anthony McAuliffe pays tribute to the pivotal (and under reported) contribution of 10th CCB in the defense of Bastogne and you'll hear an account of the action from CCB Commander, Col. William L. Roberts. After Bastogne 10th Armored played a key roll in pushing German forces back and then driving across the Siegfried line and into the heavily fortified city of Trier. The 10th fought it's way across Germany in a series of tough engagements against die hard opposition, thrusting its way to Innsbruck, Austria by VE Day.
