It turned out to be one of the bloodiest battles of the war, lasting until the winter of 1945. It was estimated that more than 30,000 US and German soldiers were killed, and tens of thousands more wounded, before the battle was over. The fighting was so fierce and bloody that the area became known to those who fought in it as "The Death Factory". Written by frankfob2@yahoo.com See less
