U.S. Soldier at the Bastogne Town Sign in Snow, Battle of the Bulge, Belgium, Winter 1944-1945
An American soldier poses in falling snow beside the town-limit sign for Bastogne, Belgium, in Luxembourg Province. Bastogne became a symbol of American resilience when the surrounded 101st Airborne Division held the town against German forces during the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944-1945, enduring brutal cold and repeated attacks before relief arrived.
