The Fighting 30th Division

<div><B>This chronicle of an armored division&rsquo;s bravery during the Battle of the Bulge sheds new light on the legendary Siege of Bastogne in WWII.</B><BR />  <BR /> Before the 101st Airborne Division&rsquo;s famous Siege of Bastogne, there was already a US unit holding the town when they arrived. This unit&mdash;the 10th Armored Division&mdash;continued to play a major role in its defense through the German onslaught. <I>The Tigers of Bastogne</I> offers a detailed chronicle of the young armored division that withstood the full brunt of Manteuffel&rsquo;s Fifth Panzer Army in the Ardennes.<BR />  <BR /> The 10th Armored had only arrived in Europe that September as part of Patton&rsquo;s Third Army. They soon faced the onslaught of Nazi panzers bursting across no-man&rsquo;s-land on December 16. But they earned their nickname, &ldquo;The Tiger Division,&rdquo; as they went on the defensive at Bastogne, surrounded by an entire German army.<BR />  <BR /> Gen. Anthony McAuliffe of the 101st Airborne said, &ldquo;It seems regrettable to me that Combat Command B of the 10th Armored Division didn&rsquo;t get the credit it deserved at the Battle of Bastogne. All the newspaper and radio talk was about the paratroopers. Actually the 10th Armored Division was in there a day before we were and had some very hard fighting before we ever got into it.&rdquo; Fortunately, in this book, the historical record is finally corrected.</div>
