THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE
INTRODUCTION
The Battle of the Bulge was the last major German offensive of World War II. It began on 16 December 1944, when German forces broke through Allied defenses in the Ardennes. The German drive was intended to seize Antwerp, split Allied forces in the west, and bring about the surrender of one or more Allied armies. Bad weather (bitter cold and heavy snow) hampered Allied air and supply operations, although it also hindered German movements. Improved weather conditions allowed Allied forces to reinforce weak points in their lines, and to resume air operations against German offensive positions and supply lines.
American forces suffered nearly 90,000 casualties during this German offensive, including 19,000 soldiers killed in action.

THE RAPE OF NANKING
A massacre of horrific proportions took place beginning on 13 December 1937 when the Japanese army overthrew the ancient city of Nanking, China. Japanese soldiers then proceeded to rape, torture, and murder an estimated 200,000-300,000 Chinese civilians. Thousands more would likely have been slaughtered if European and American civilians working in Nanking had not created a “Safety Zone” where survivors could take shelter.

GEORGE ARMSTRONG CUSTER
George Armstrong Custer was born December 5, 1839, in New Rumley, Ohio. He graduated from West Point in 1861 (one year early because of the looming Civil War). He was ranked last in his class, due in part to a propensity for playing pranks on his classmates that earned him numerous demerits. After distinguishing himself as a cavalry officer during the Civil War, he died on June 25, 1876 in Montana Territory during an engagement with a greatly superior force consisting of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho Indians.
