General McAuliffe i think. Gen McAuliffe was in command of the US troops who were surrounded and defended Bastogne. He was command of the 101st Airborne Division artillery and was the highest ranking general on the scene. There were other commanders both on US and German sides. The Battle of the Bulge was an attack along a large front that involved several US infantry divisions. Then Gen Patton's 3rd Army was sent to relieve Bastogne and turn the Germans back. So there are many commanders.
