Post; 45,000 Frozen Feet!


Was reading this article on a Tank Commander from 811th Tank Dest. Batt.

http://www.kued.org/productions/worl...onkie_brit.php

He goes on about his time in the Battle of the Bulge. Stating some 45,000
had frozen feet during this time period.

I knew some people had frozen feet from what my Grandfather had mentioned
once,but until I read this I had no Idea the number was so high.

It's a bit of good reading/check it out!
