On December 27, 1944, the dramatic siege of Bastogne was broken when elements of the 4th Armored Division linked up with the 101st Airborne just south of the city. In this episode, we're going to the exact spot where that linkup occurred along with a rare artifact from the Gettysburg Museum of History that is connected with legendary tank commander, Creighton Abrams.
