One major battle during the"Battle of the Bulge" was the encirclement of Bastogne by the Waffen-SS, who threw everything they had against the surrounded 101st Airborne. The 101st, which was outnumbered, low on food, ammo, and medical supplies, its men lacking a winter issue of clothing, held the town. A few days before Christmas, the German commander sent a message demanding "the honorable surrender of the encircled American troops, to avoid total annihalation." The German commander received the following message from General Anthony McAuliffe, commander of the 101st: "To the German Commander: NUTS! The American Commander." A couple of weeks later, General Patton's tanks broke the seige, opening supply lines and allowing for the wounded to be evacuated. Today, people tell the story of Bastogne as Patton rescuing the doomed 101st AB. No member of the 101st has ever agreed that they needed rescuing.
