On sixteenth December, 1944, the German forces relocated through the woodlands associated with the Ardennes, in Belgium, to add 1st U.S. Army. It was the Wehrmacht's final offensive regarding the western front side before the last surrender in 1945. The “Wacht am Rhein” plan envisaged, on the part of General Von Rundstedt , the employment of numerous elite devices of Wehrmacht and of Waffen SS. The climax of this offensive ended up being the siege of Bastogne, on December 21st, 1944. Town had been defended by the 101st Airborne Division. The models in this kit have the innovative Sturmgewehr 44 which are often considered the precursor of today's attack rifles.
