The rumble of explosives shook the snow covered ground beneath me as I buried my face deeper into the lapels of my jacket. It was probably minus zero degrees here in the Ardennes forest. The wind was the worst as it affected everyone due to our lack of proper clothing. Apparently the regular issued military jackets that were designed for milder climates would cut it. At the moment I was in my foxhole with my buddies Luz and Guarnere who were also in the 101st Airborne, 506th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, Easy Company. We were assigned to hold the frontline in Bastogne, Belgium.
Our unit once held over 200 men but from the time we landed at Normandy to being stuck here we had only seventy men left, almost all with at least one injury. Every single man here hated the living crap out of being here but we were closer because we had to band together to survive without proper ammo, food and clothing. I mean seriously we didn't even have enough ammo to shoot back at the Germans!
Life here was like a twisted froze over hell. Living under such harsh conditions we could not even muster a fire to warm ourselves for one precious second. The Germans across the field were constantly watching us like hawks so lighting a fire was out of the question.
So now trying to stay warm in our foxhole Luz asks a question that even I cannot answer "How the hell did we get here?"
