The 99th Infantry Division's Intelligence and Reconnaissance Platoon, also known as the I&R Platoon tell the story of how the 18 lightly armed men held off the spearhead of Kampfgruppe Peiper for over 8 hours at Lanzerath, Belgium during the opening stages of the Battle of the Bulge. The ultimate David versus Goliath story of World War II.
It is great to see the 99ther's finally telling their story. This here could be made into a great movie. As the Event Coordinator of the 99th Infantry Division Historical Society,Inc here in Erie Pa we wish to say "Thank You" for sharing your stories with us since 1999. On behave of the Society we wish to invite you all to our Bridge at Remagen 1945 event in Tidioute,Pa in 2012.
