WWII 10th Armored Division in Bastogne by Col. Roberts

Colonel William Roberts describes the valuable contribution of the 10th Armored Division's Combat Command B (CCB) as they stood as the early defenders of Bastogne during WWII's Battle of the Bulge. Roberts was the commander of CCB of the 10th Armored Division as they defended Bastogne in the battle. Roberts acknowledges that the combined fighting force of the 101st Airborne and CCB of the 10th Armored was crucial to the successful defense of Bastogne. The key contribution of the 10th Armored's Combat Command B during the battle has not been well known over the years, while the 101st Airborne has received most of the recognition
for Bastogne's defense. The statements by Col.Roberts serve to rectify this oversight and to give the soldiers of the 10th Armored "Tigers" the credit and respect that they deserve for their sacrifices during the battle.
