Tim Lambert Spark Feature: 80 years ago today, Pennsylvania’s 28th Division stood in the way as the Germans launched the Battle of the Bulge
Eighty years ago today, the German army launched its last major offensive on the Western Front during World War II. It centered on the Ardennes Forest in Belgium and became known as the Battle of the Bulge. Standing in the way that day was a Pennsylvania National Guard division, the 28th, which is known as the Bloody Bucket.
To shed some light on the 28th’s heroic stand, WITF’s Tim Lambert reached out to Walter Zapotoczny. He’s a former member of the 28th Infantry Division, the incoming president of the Divisions Association, and the author of 13 military history books, including his latest that is set to be released next year, “The 28th Infantry Division in the Battle of the Bulge.”
We aired this conversation on The Spark Monday, December 16th.
