What Eisenhower Said When Patton Saved the 101st Airborne

“… December 26, 1944. Four words changed everything: "We're through to Bastogne." General Patton had just accomplished the impossible—pivoting an entire army 90 degrees through a blizzard to save 10,000 surrounded paratroopers from certain death. Discover what Eisenhower actually said in that historic phone call and the words that followed. The 101st Airborne was surrounded, outnumbered 3-to-1, running out of ammunition and supplies. German forces were closing in for the kill. Hitler personally ordered their annihilation. Eisenhower faced the worst crisis of his command—and only one general could save them."

 

My Uncle was there…I remember him telling my Dad that when Patton broke through, they thought he would stop, but he kept going. The Third Army was on the attack..

 

"Unmöglich." Impossible the German General staff declared.
