This is episode eight in the final review of The Silver King's War.  Michael G. Sievers, the writer, producer and creator of this podcast series, reviews his father's war as a B-26 Bombardier.  The A-72 base supported Pathfinder missions to guide bomber crews to success via the Oboe System.  The German Army began a surprise counter attack in Belgium's Ardennes Forest at day break on December 16.   Their early, deep and desperate incursions, described as a "Last Gamble," were an attempt to capture the port of Antwerp and cut allied supply lines.  The 597th Bomber Squadron flew intense air support to help repel the Axis army of older men and young boys.
