English | 2024 | ISBN: 1036103935 | 290 pages | True PDF EPUB | 92.38 MB

The first days of the Battle of the Bulge saw tactical defeats for several formations of the US army. The Saint-Vith sector was particularly hard hit by the surprise attack that prevailed on the morning of 16 December 1944. Two American units, the 106th Infantry Division and the 14th Cavalry Group, were crushed in front of this small town, which was of vital importance to the German offensive in the Ardennes.

To the north-west of Saint-Vith is a small hamlet consisting of a few houses: Poteau. The area is well known to military history enthusiasts thanks to a series of photographs taken by a German Propaganda Kompagnie, which were later captured by the US Army and have since become famous the world over.

Although this series of photographs was a staging point for a propaganda battle, their frequent appearance in history books on the Ardennes offensive prompted the author to investigate what really happened in this small village on the border between the Ardennes and the German-speaking cantons of Belgium, and how its history is closely linked to the drama of the Battle of Saint-Vith.


第一次贝尔格勒战役的第一天,美国军的几个部队遭受了战术上的失败。特别是在1944年12月16日拂晓时分发生的突袭中,圣维熙地区受到了特别严重的打击。当日,两个美军单位——第106步兵师和第14骑兵群——在这座小城镇前遭到了重创,这座小镇对于德军在阿登地区的攻势至关重要。 圣维熙西北方向有一片小村庄,由几栋房子组成:波托瓦村。这片地区因德国宣传队的一个系列照片而广为人知,这些照片后来被美军俘获并传遍了世界各地。 虽然这张照片系列原本只是战斗中的一个停靠点,但它们在阿登战役历史书籍中频繁出现促使作者调查一下,在阿登与比利时德语区交界的小村庄波托瓦村究竟发生了什么,以及它的历史是如何紧密地与圣维熙战役的戏剧性联系在一起的。
