What were aw bombs?
AW bombs, or atomic weapons, refer to explosive devices that derive their destructive power from nuclear reactions, either fission (splitting atomic nuclei) or fusion (combining atomic nuclei). They were developed during World War II, with the first successful tests occurring in 1945. The use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki marked a significant turning point in warfare, leading to widespread devastation and loss of life, as well as ushering in the nuclear age. Their existence has since prompted ongoing debates about ethics, deterrence, and global security.

According to "The Articles of War - Annotated" (5th Edition 1949) by Lee Tillotson: ARTICLE 107, Soldiers To Make Good Time Lost: Every soldier who in an exisiting or subsequent enlistment deserts the service of the United States or without proper authority absents himself from his organization, station, or duty for more than one day, or who is confined for more than one day under sentence, or while awaiting trial and disposition of his case, if the trial results in conviction, or through the intermperate use of drugs or alcholic liquor, or through disease or injury the result of his own misconduct, renders himself unable for more than one day to perform duty, shall be liabel to serve, after his return to a full-duty status, for such period as shall, with the time he may have served prior to such desertion, unauthorized absence, confinement or inability to perform duty, amount to the full term of that part of his enlistment period which he is required to serve with his organization before being furloughed to the Army reserve. Tillotson's annotation goes on to describe various situations covered by AW 107; e.g., desertion, AWOL, military confinement, civil confinement, drunkenness, fighting, sports, self-injury.
What was ment by the reply nuts in world war 2?
A little narrative explaining it. We got into Bastogne late on the night of 18 December, 1944. We were not well equipped, having just gotten out of combat in Holland. We were particularly short of winter clothing and footwear. On the 21st of December we became completely surrounded by Germans and our field hospital was overrun by a German attack. We had put the hospital in what would normally have been a safe place, but no place is safe when you are completely surrounded. At this time, we were not able to receive air resupply because the weather was absolutely frightful. It was very, very cold and snowy. Visibility was often measured in yards. Our lack of winter gear was partially offset by the citizens of Bastogne who gave us blankets and white linens that we used for camouflage. While we were still surrounded, on the morning of December 22, a German surrender party, consisting of two officers and two NCOs, and carrying a white flag, approached our perimeter in the area of our Glider Regiment, the 327th. The party was taken to a nearby platoon command post. While the enlisted men were detained the officers were blind folded and taken to the command post of the 327th where they presented their surrender ultimatum. The ultimatum in essence said the 101st's position was hopeless and that if we elected not to surrender a lot of bad things would happen. The message was brought in to the Division Headquarters by Major Alvin Jones, the S-3, and Colonel Harper, the Regimental Commander. They brought the message to me, the G-3 and Paul Danahy, the G-2. My first reaction was that this was a German ruse, designed to get our men out of their fox holes. But be that as it might, we agreed that we needed to take the message up the line. We took it first to the acting Chief of Staff of the Division, Lt. Col. Ned Moore. With him, we took the message to the acting Division Commander General Tony McAuliffe. Moore told General McAuliffe that we had a German surrender ultimatum. The General's first reaction was that the Germans wanted to surrender to us. Col. Moore quickly disabused him of that notion and explained that the German's demanded our surrender. When McAuliffe heard that he laughed and said: "Us surrender? Aw, nuts!" the date was December 22nd, 1944
Who led the 82nd Airborne?
Several generals have led the famous "Screaming Eagles" division, but the one you're probably asking about was actually the assistant division commander in December, 1944, Brigadier General Anthony C. McAuliffe. At the time, the actual division commander was Major General Maxwell D. Taylor, but he was away from the unit attending a staff conference. It is said that when his outfit was surrounded at Bastogne, Taylor asked Eisenhower for permission to parachute in to take command and be with his beloved unit, but Eisenhower couldn't take the chance of dropping an American Major General right into German hands if he missed his drop zone, so Taylor had to wait out the battle, fuming, until the 101st was relieved by the breakthrough of the 4th Armored Division of Patton's 3rd Army.On December 16, 1944, the Germans launched what became known as The Battle of the Bulge, so named for the big bulge or salient they created into the American lines in the Ardennes Forest of Belgium. The Germans, in a last ditch attempt to win the war in the west by breaking through the American lines and capturing the Belgian port of Antwerp, threw everything they had in a surprise attack into what had been a quiet sector.To slow the German advance, Eisenhower ordered the 101st Airborne, along with Combat Command B of the 10th Armored and the 463rd Field Artillery into the important crossroads town of Bastogne. The German 5th Panzer Army needed to control Bastogne very badly, and quickly the town was surrounded, the Americans outnumbered and outgunned. The German commander sent in a couple of fellows under a flag of truce to ask the American Commander, Acting 101st Division Commander "Tony" McAuliffe, to surrender. The way the story was related to me, McAuliffe's instant response was … "Aw, nuts!" Then he went away to check his lines. When he came back, his aides pointed out to him that the Germans were still waiting for an answer. "What should I say?" asked McAuliffe.One of the aides said, "I thought your first answer was pretty good.""What'd I say?" asked McAuliffe."Sir, you said, 'Nuts!'"So McAuliffe grabbed a scrap of paper and wrote: "To the German Commander: Nuts. The American Commander."There being no way to translate this into German, it had to be explained to the envoys that it basically meant "go to hell." It has gone down in history as one of the single most famous quotes in all warfare. And Screaming Eagles to this day will tell you that they didn't need any relief at Bastogne; they were doing just fine, thanks.

Was the 863 battalion in the battle of the buldge?
There was the 863rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion (Automatic Weapons), which was among the "corps troops" of the V Corps, US First Army, which was in the Battle of the Bulge. The US Army had, besides its divisions, hundreds of "independent battalions" of various types, which were "independent" because they were not a permanent part of any larger formation. These battalions were assigned to corps HQs (where they were referred to as "corps troops") or field army HQs (where they were referred to as "army troops"). These included artillery of several calibers, signals, combat engineers, tank, tank destroyer battalions, and so on. All AAA battalions were "separate" or "independent" battalions. If you want to search the net include among your search terms "863rd AAA (AW) Bn". I've included a link below, under "Related Links" which is an "Order of Battle" (a list of all units involved) for the Bulge.
