After the Allied defeat in the Battle of the Bulge, the Screaming Eagles were rushed to Bastogne, a small Belgian crossroads town where seven roads met. The lightly armed paratrooper unit became the "cork in the bottle" of the Nazi onslaught; Bastogne became the key to victory. The soldiers immediately found themselves in close combat. Without enough ammunition, food, or clothing, in freezing weather and deep snow, they held out against the best the Nazis could throw at them, buying the time needed for Patton's Third Army to arrive from the South.
