On December 16th, 1944, German forces launched their last offensive on the western front before the final surrender in 1945, moving through the forests of the Ardennes in Belgium to attack the First U.S. Army. The "Wacht am Rhein" plan, devised by General Von Rundstedt, utilized elite units of the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS. The climax of the offensive was the siege of Bastogne on December 21st, 1944, defended by the 101st Airborne Division. The models in this kit are equipped with the innovative Sturmgewehr 44, considered the precursor of today's assault rifles.
