Résumé

The story of the 14th Cavalry Group ranks as one of the true epics of American military history. During the first two days of the Battle of the Bulge, a small band of cold and confused U. S. cavalrymen (including Bill Null) held the better part of two enemy divisions at bay. During one of the worst winters in Europe, they literally battled the fog and friction of war. On the third day of the battle, Task Force Mayes of the 14th Cavalry Group clashed with Kampfgruppe Hansen in Poteau.
The Germans were attempting to out flank the Cavalry Group and attack the town from the wooded area. Several of the cavalry vehicles were deliberately set on fire by advancing Germans for the benefit of an SS photo unit. The very famous widely published photos of advancing Germans past wrecked and abandoned vehicles were shot by the same photo unit. Survivors of the 14th Cavalry Group relate tales reflecting their own selfless devotion to duty and bravery.
More than seventy-five years after the event, the collective memory of these brave Americans presents a compelling story of individual courage and endurance. It is a fascinating and illuminating tale worthy of telling. Their valor has for too long gone unnoticed. By any measure, these U. S. cavalrymen are a heroic group. This book is written by the son-in-law of William (Bill) Null who served in the 18th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron, 14th Cavalry Group during the Battle of the Bulge.
