Martin, Jr. who fought in the Battle of the Bulge in World War Two. In his own words: We were going to a quiet sector on the front lines. This was an area where combat troops were sent to rest and green troops like us were sent to gradually break in. The Germans did the same thing in this sector. The Americans had gone into combat at the Normandy invasion on June 6, 1944 and fought their way just inside Germany, securing a foothold in the Siegfried Line in the Ardennes Forest. When our total offensive slowed down in September, the Ardennes Line remained stable up to the present time. There had been no real activity in this area for nearly three months. We were greatly relieved that we were not going directly into combat. Parts of Harry Martin's story have been used by three other authors in their books about the Battle of the Bulge and his story has been told in numerous magazines and newspapers. This book is his entire story, which is now being made available to the public for the first time.
