EP61 – LotB – The Battle of the Bulge: Death of a Division

Send us Fan MailThe US 106th Infantry Division was star-crossed at best. Trained to a fine point, its regiments were raided by the U.S. Army to replace casualties suffered during the Battle of France. Its leadership lacked experience and a “hand’s on” approach to leading the Division’s men in battle. They were eventually isolated and two of its regiments were forced to surrender. It was the largest mass surrender since Bataan. But was it all due to poor leadership? Or did battlefield happenstances force the situation? Or maybe it was a concerted effort on the part of the German Army. Check in to find out what caused the surrender of the bulk of the Golden Lions during the Battle of the Bulge.  If you'd like to become a Patreon supporter of The "We're Not Lost, Private" Podcast, check us out here: https://patreon.com/WereNotLostPrivatePodcast  You can check us out on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@WereNotLostPrivatePodcast If you like the pod, please hit like, subscribe and share! You can listen to us on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and a host of other podcatchers. We're also on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/werenotlostprivate1944   and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WereNotLostPrivate Support the show
