Battle Of The BulgeI was pleased with my copy of the Battle Of The Bulge graphic, the art-work and coverage was superb. I searched specifically for any reference to the 106th Inf. Div. The reason for doing so was because my step-father was a member of that unit. He was also nearly killed. He always referred to the 106th as the 'hungry and sick". This because many men died in their foxholes, many froze to death. My dad was picked to run a tank destroyer; a Panzer killed it, he received a head wound. Was disappointed to find no ref's to the 106th. Inf. (E.O.M) Richard Kobel, GySgt USMC Ret.
