This item has a limited edition certificate included.

By November 1944 the German 15th Army withdrew deeper into Holland. The German 7th army began a series of attacks against the US 9th Army. The Germans had been preparing a massive counterattack in the West since the Allied breakout from Normandy. The plan called Wacht am Rhein (GÇ£Watch on the RhineGÇ¥) was to attack through the Ardennes and swing North. The attack started on December 16 in what became known as the Battle of the Bulge. After initial successes in bad weather, which gave them cover from the Allied air forces, the Germans were eventually pushed back to their starting points by January 15, 1945.
