    An undated photograph of U.S. Army paratroopers of Company A 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion, 7th Armored Division, pulling a crude sled in the snow to bring in a fellow soldier for medical aid at Born, Belgium, during the Battle of the Bulge from Dec. 16, 1944, to Jan. 25, 1945. The story of the battle gets an eyewitness accounting from an Army field hospital nurse, Lt. Katherine Nolan. The desperate attempt by the Germans to break the Allies' advance across Europe was the costliest American battle in history, with more than 82,400 killed, wounded, and captured in the Ardennes Forest of Belgium and Luxembourg.
