A breakthrough in my research on the 1251st

[Walt's Daughter]

Darlene, let me end your confusion. The Battle of the Bulge (Ardennes/Alsace Campaign) actually ran from December 16, 1944 until January 18, 1945, (some give dates until the following week). As with many you are probably just thinking of the beginning of the Bulge in Belgium. If you could look on a map of the Bulge, you will see how extensive it was and would find out the extent of the almost 6 week battle.
