The Battle of the Bulge Sticker

Our original design includes these historical references:

• What became known as the "Battle of the Bulge" was the Ardennes Offensive, and the response of the Allies, the Ardennes Counteroffensive.

• The battle lasted for five weeks, from December 16, 1944 to January 28, 1945, towards the end of the war in Europe.

• The 101st Airborne Division was surrounded at Bastogne and being shelled.

• "NUTS" was the (probably sanitized) reply from Brig. Gen. Anthony Mcauliffe to the letter from the attacking German Forces offering an opportunity to surrender. 

• An excerpt from Mcauliffe's Christmas Letter to his troops:

We are giving our country and our loved ones at home a worthy Christmas present and being privileged to take part in this gallant feat of arms are truly making for ourselves a Merry Christmas.

/s/ A. C. McAULIFFE
/t/ McAULIFFE
Commanding.

• The  Sherman Cobra King pictiured broke through to link up with the 101st Airborne Division on the outskirts of Bastogne on December 26.

• The line running down the center is a tracing from the map of enemy positions on December 25.

The sticker: Printed in the US on thick, durable vinyl with a UV laminate that protects the sticker from scratching, rain, and sunlight. Die cut.

Size: 4" x 3.67"
