It's nice to see, that someone remembers Huertgenwald. It's always D-day, Market-Garden, and Bulge. Yet the Huertgenwald bled elements of around 11 US Divisions dry, prompting Ike to warn his commanders that manpower was not an infinite resource. And even German veterans of the Russian front were shocked at how bloody the fighting was.

Bit like the Wilderness Campaign multiplied..........
