This information just came in from Juan O Savin via one of our correspondents in Georgia. (Thank you, lady.)
In the course of this report, Juan shares some history of just how critical the “Battle of the Bulge” was to Allied success in World War II.
My uncle (by marriage) Homer died in 2017 at the age of 95. He was in the U. S. Army’s invasion at Normandy on D-day. He was gravely wounded on that day and spent the next five months or so in a hospital in England.
When he had recovered sufficiently, he was sent to France to rejoin his unit. Meanwhile, his unit had been moving northward and was now in Belgium. He arrived just in time to fight in The Battle of the Bulge. He came through that unscathed, but suffered from shell shock for years afterwards.
Uncle Homer was a very gentle soul but he always seemed a little “slow.” At family reunions I engaged him in conversations about the war. Unlike many/most veterans who had seen combat in WW II, Homer was not the least bit reluctant to share his experiences in the battles.
“Oh, yeah,” he would intone, “we lost about 60 percent of our boys on D-Day. Many of them were shot up so badly that…” and he would go on to describe in gruesome detail about what he witnessed—and experienced.
Homer married my aunt when he was in his fifties. They had no children. I only put two and two together about Uncle Homie when my cousin described to me how Homer was playing cards, as he did weekly with his buddies, and how Homer reacted when his wife died of cancer in the local hospital.
When my cousin told Homer the bad news, Uncle Homie just kept on playing cards. My cousin was puzzled and said, “Uncle Homer, she just died; aren’t you going to the hospital?”
Without any apparent emotion, Uncle Homer replied, “What for? She’s dead. There’s nothing I can do.” He continued playing cards.
What I later found out was that after the war, Homer was subjected to “experimental” electro-convulsive shock “therapy” (ECT) A lot of it. In consultation with a family member (Ph.D. in neuroscience), my surmise was confirmed that the “therapy” severely impacted his brain in the areas of emotions. Nothing phased him. It was almost as though some of the neuronal circuits had been fried and severed; as though his emotional capabilities had been erased. Maybe they were.
All this is just one soldier’s life which radically affected the rest of his 70 or so years on this earth. A heartbreaking travesty of the effects of war!
Another uncle, Uncle Walt, for whom I was (middle-) named and who was my sponsor in Catholic infant baptism, was also in the Battle of the Bulge. He came home after V-E Day—undoubtedly with what we today call PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), or in those days was called “shell shock.”
Uncle Walt would never speak a word about his WW II experiences. Probably to deal with the horrors he had seen, he turned to alcohol. Uncle Walt died of cirrhosis of the liver at about age 62.
In the essay below, Juan gives information about the Battle of the Bulge that I had never heard. (I confess I never saw the movie, Patton, but I may do so after hearing Juan’s account of key points in the battle.)
If you have been following Juan, as we have since Trump’s first term, then you are well aware of the Tina Peters story, and of her heroism which is briefly encapsulated by Juan below. QUOTE:

Folks, Juan here with urgent updates:
Tina Peters is deteriorating steadily now. She continues to fight a deep cough that mimics the cough she had when she was first diagnosed with lung cancer. Her prison cell is cold. Tina is 70 years old and it’s a medical fact that skin often gets thinner with age, making it more difficult to keep warm with the blankets notoriously thin and prison rules do not allow one to bundle up.
Before I go into detail about Tina, allow me to cut to the chase. Please spread this message far and wide:
Call the White House Switchboard DAILY between 10am and 3pm EST at 202-456-1414 and request that Political Prisoner and National Hero Tina Peters be released from prison immediately.
Let the Commander in Chief know that your going to support him 100% when he initiates a ‘drastic’ and ‘ICONIC’ move to protect the most ‘ICONIC’ figure in the election integrity movement, Tina Peters.
As Patton demanded of his troops racing to Bastogne, “Faster! we’ve got to move faster.” There’s brave people dying up there!!!’
President Trump has made his desire excruciatingly clear that Tina Peters needs to be freed. For reasons known best to him he has held back on executing the ‘DRASTIC’ actions he has threatened in order to set her free, thus far. Most of us fully trust President Trump’s instincts concerning his next moves, keeping in mind timing is everything.
Tina is showing signs of serious dehydration. On Friday, she was tagged to do a ‘drug’ test and urinate in the cup. She was so dehydrated she could not release any urine and was unable to get a enough spittle to satisfy them either. Tina also complained about having brain fog. She’s been so physically weak she did not feel safe walking to the medical window to be seen (for whatever that would be worth) so she stayed in bed.
Tina needs to be seen by OUTSIDE MEDICAL PERSONNEL. Colorado Governor Polis has made it clear that no amount of outside or Federal pressure is going to change his mind concerning Tina’s incarceration.
I want to share that I am aware of at least three well-advanced legal efforts to free Tina going on right now. Due to their sensitive nature, I will not discuss those strategies here, but I can tell you that each effort is well thought out and being taken seriously.
Let me take a moment and describe the circumstances leading to the largest and deadliest battle of WWII, The Battle of the Bulge.
On November 30, 1944 near the conclusion of a relatively routine staff meeting held by General Patton, his G-2 Intelligence Officer, Oscar Koch, stepped forward and expressed his concern that the German Army was preparing to launch a large-scale breakout offensive, similar to what had been done prior to the invasion of France in 1940.
At the same time, other intelligence officers were expressing similar concerns with other Generals throughout the Allied Armies and were summarily dismissed as naive lunatics, imagining monsters under the bed. Most intel available to the Allied Commanders showed the German Army was in full retreat, and some even believed that Germany’s capitulation and surrender could still occur by Christmas.
Intelligence Officer Koch, contrasted to General Patton and others, had a gentle demeanor and was soft spoken—he relied on data to get his message across over imaginative expressiveness. When Patton pressed Koch to give his best guess on the potential timing of a German counter offensive, Koch said, “any day but a couple weeks at the most”.
Unlike his counterparts at other locations along the Western Front Patton paused, listened and asked questions. At the conclusion of the meeting, Patton ordered his staff to begin the extremely labor intensive task of working through the logistics of pivoting the 3rd and 4th Army 90 degrees and heading north just in case his Koch’s analysis turned out to be correct.
The details and mechanics of changing an army’s direction are nearly unfathomable for most to comprehend. Fuel, food, medical supplies, ammunition and communications lines, accurate maps, and local intelligence must all be pulled together. At the same time, what if this were a trick, could the remaining forces be left vulnerable? Backup and defensive options MUST also be prepared.
Most military historians miscalculate the ultimate and greatest danger of Germany’s final, last chance offensive. The German code name for the offensive was called Watch on the Rhine—sort of reminds us of Watch the Water—referencing a popular song of the era.
The winter offensive that the German/NAZI Army planned was huge, and it was the largest battle of WWII. History books insinuate that the German Army had hoped and only intended to divide the Allied Forces and cut off their supplies from Belgium’s ports.
The historian's failure is in comprehending what additional advantage Germany could have obtained merely by delaying an end to the war by three to six months. Hitler and his advisors hoped the British and American Forces could be divided and, thereby, cause both political and military command disunity between them while, at the same time, force a negotiated end of the war on terms that favored Germany and its Axis Army.
Germany was simultaneously at a very advanced stage of development and testing of multiple, inter-related, and hi-tech weapons. Those projects were just beginning to be sourced out, working through the supply routes, and training at deployment locations for those advanced weapons.
Had the NAZI’s succeeded, that negotiated peace would have allowed Hitler and his Commanders to reconstitute their forces around their advanced technology and, ultimately, they would have led to a world almost incomprehensible to us now.
Most Americans today are unaware that, at the time, about one-half of the entire U.S. population claimed their heritage to Germany. That is why, in part, German scientists and intelligence personnel were so easily absorbed into America’s military, business and university systems after the war.
Imagine—it’s not as hard as a rational person might at first think—if we had come to some type of negotiated peace with Hitler’s Army and then over time our national and international relations had been normalized! Consider also that many of the most powerful families in America and across the world had VERY close ties to German industry and banking before, during and after the war! If you question that, do a deep dive on the I. G. Farbin [sic. Correct spelling is Farben] Corporation.
As predicted by G2 Officer Oscar Koch, the German/Nazi Army began their attack in the predawn darkness of December 16, 1944, just as the region’s winter weather turned harsh, and in favor of the German Army. Very quickly two locations became instantly and obviously critical to the Allied Commanders.
The Allied Army needed to stop the German Army at choke points in the city of Bastogne and the lesser known location at Elsenborn Ridge/St. Vith where the German 6th Panzer Army was attempting a breakthrough. German Commanders were not allowing for a single point failure in their plan, and a breakthrough at either location would suffice. The broader battle is remembered today as the Battle of the Bulge where well over 750,000 men from each side fought in the Ardennes forests and cities for over a month.
Almost immediately after the German Army’s attack began, troops from the 101st Airborne, otherwise known as the Screaming Eagles whose motto is a “Rendezvous with Destiny”, traveled over 100 miles and jumped from the tailgates of trucks instead of out of airplanes due to the locally inclement weather.
The determining factor on the exact beginning of the German assault was the weather. The German Commanders were counting on the seasonally predictable cloud and fog cover in that area to mask their moves from aerial surveillance. Simultaneous with the beginning of the battle, German troops were able to stop, confuse and disrupt Allied communications all along the Western Front.
It was nearly two days before the Allied Commanders fully understood what was taking place and on the evening of the 18th of December were called to an emergency meeting of the General Staff in Eastern France. After being briefed on what was known, concerning details of the attack to that moment, each General was polled on their potential to move troops into the region in order to slow or stop the German Army’s advances, especially at Bastogne where they were in the process of being encircled and cut-off.
Each General replied that it would take weeks at minimum to begin a counter attack. The last man in the room to be asked was General Patton. As the movie Patton accurately depicts, he stunned the other Generals present by saying that he could move his armies into position to engage the German advance within 48 hours! How could this be? Unknown to any of the other Generals, he had already begun preparation for such an event over two weeks prior.
So thorough were Patton’s preparations that he had a code word in place for his staff. As the meeting concluded and he was ordered to proceed, he immediately walked to the communications center and relayed the word “Nickel” to his staff who immediately gave the “go code” down through the ranks and the 3rd and 4th Army began the race to block the German/NAZI Army’s advance.
The leading elements of Patton’s Army made first contact with German forces about 100 miles north of their starting point and a mere 19 and a half hours later on the 19th of December. By the time of the winter solstice on December 21st around 14,000 troops from the 101st Airborne and about 3,000 civilians within the city of Bastogne had been completely encircled and cut off for days.
The only outside supplies came by aircraft, which the weather was making increasingly difficult. The German commander sent a message via troops carrying a white flag addressed to the American Commander in Bastogne. He suggested that ‘in the interest of civility’ he should surrender or face complete annihilation for his troops as well as the civilians.
He confidently gave the American Commander two hours to make up his mind. The American Commander, understanding precisely his role to delay the German advance, famously answered, “NUTS”. The German troops tasked with conveying the messages needed some clarification on the meaning of “NUTS” and American Soldiers from the 101st Airborne’s frontline were glad to oblige by saying it could best be interpreted to mean, “Go to Hell”.
As word of the communications circulated around the American forces racing to the fight, they were greatly encouraged, and by all accounts strengthened in their resolve to come to the rescue of their cohorts exhibiting such resolve and fortitude.
Inside the city, in the relative quiet of a temporary cease fire, the garrisoned troops and civilians could hear ever more clearly the muffled sounds and distant thunder of friendly cannon fire closing on their location. It gave them the needed hope to press on.
Over the next several days the 101st Airborne Troops in Bastogne fought one of the greatest battles in U.S. Military History. They were eventually awarded the first ever ‘Presidential Unit Citation via the War Department’s General Order #17 in March 1945’ even while the final months of World War II in Europe were still raging!
The 101st Airborne in its entirety was recognized for their “extraordinary heroism and gallantry” in denying the enemy success at a crucial road junction, even with limited supplies as detailed in official reports and historical accounts.
“Big doors and Big Battles often turn on tiny, tiny hinges”.
Two moments stand out beyond all the rest in this epic battle from 81 years ago. The individual stamina and focus of one man and the matching perseverance, clarity of mind, and purpose, of two columns of men with their tanks and accompanying ground forces.
Sergeant William “Bill” Turner was a 26 year old Gunsmith in the 101st Airborne. In the wee hours of December 22nd he was presented with 340 M1 Garand Rifles collected from his 101st buddies. They were completely unworkable due to sand, mud and water. The temperature in Bastogne had plummeted to 10 degrees below zero.
The tools to service the weapons had been lost while relocating in the siege. Undeterred, Bill—by the way, his name means “Protector—began to dismantle, clean and grease (which doesn’t freeze readily and keeps the water out) every single weapon. As he worked with the cold metal gun parts, the skin on his finger tips broke off in chunks and he wrapped them in cloth and continued to work—his bone on cold metal.
With the Germans preparing to attack at any moment, he worked without rest or complaint for 28 hours straight. Bill disassembled, serviced and greased and reassembled all 340 rifles which were later reported to have ALL worked perfectly once the battle resumed. A few days later, while the battle was at its peak in Bastogne, Bill Turner was able to be evacuated to a rear area where he received urgent medical attention.
Eventually 7 of his fingers had to be amputated due to the damage his hands had incurred, servicing those weapons. His valor was justly recognized with a Bronze Star. This Mighty Warrior returned to Kentucky after the war where he opened a gun shop where he continued servicing guns till the age of 83. Bill passed away in 2001.
Each day as the muffled sounds of distant Allied canon became clearer to the troops at Elsenborn and Bastogne the troops’ faith, hope and resolve increased exponentially.
The German Army’s strength was focused on the main roads into Bastogne. The side roads were also well defended but less so. On December 26th two tank columns highballed it through very heavy machine gunfire into and through the town of Clochimont about five miles south of Bastogne.
“Highballing” was slang for troops referring to jumping fences or barbed wire while under fire and where, besides getting shot, with one wrong move other undesirable injuries might also occur. The tanks and troops crossed a ridge line on the north side of town and from that high ground the American artillery and tanks were able to rain 2,340 rounds onto German positions over the next hours.
When the 101st troops saw the first tank crest the hill overlooking Bastogne, they waved and cheered. The tanks and troops proceeded lickety split through the neighboring town of Assenois, which was also fitted out with ‘pill boxes’ from which German machine gunners attacked back.
It was the last stop before Bastogne. The first tank in the column was commanded by 1st Lt. Charles Boggess, nicknamed “Cobra King” and his tank bearing bumper number ‘C-6’. At the time, the first letter in a military vehicles nickname was always the same as the ‘Company’ they were part of so since they were ‘C’ Company, their vehicle’s nickname started with a ‘C’ which in this case was ‘COBRA’ and thus the reversal from King Cobra to Cobra King.
As they worked their way through each town, Cobra King fired at targets straight ahead, and tanks following fired to the right and left exclusively in a staggered fashion back through the column. One feature that was perhaps the greatest weapon of them all for the troops operating in the Sherman Tanks and which added greatly to their success was their outstanding radio communications systems.
The German tanks had very poor radio communications with a lot of static. In contrast, the American armor’s communications were crystal clear, allowing them to quickly and smoothly coordinate and execute their moves and actions.
Additional troops followed the two ‘C’ companies' tank columns as they advanced. In short order, Cobra King closed ranks with elements of the 101st and the siege of Bastogne was broken. Soon, a wide corridor was secured where supplies and men could move safely and relieve the besieged troops.
How does this relate to where we are now? The baton has been passed! To this day, we are challenged by the conspicuous gallantry of individuals, groups and leaders described here. When called on, they exercised their analytical skills, leadership and courage in the lead up to, and the actual ‘Battle of The Bulge’; the largest, most lethal and dangerous battle of World War II.
Just like the Commanders and Troops in the final months of World War II, our Constitutional Conservatives are facing similar challenges in our current war for honest elections both here in America and around the world. Just because Trump Won the 2024 Election does not mean that the war for honest representative government is over by any measure, and I’m sure that virtually everyone reading this knows that fact with perfect clarity.
Tina Peters is an ‘ICONIC’ figure in the election integrity arena. She has served our cause well like a modern day Oscar Koch! She identified the potential threat to have election information permanently and irreversibly destroyed, and she worked to sound the alarm in all the correct places. Time has proven her to have been totally correct in her concerns and subsequent actions.
Just like what happened with Oscar Koch and Tina Peters—on our way to the 2026 mid-terms—everyone here should expect all manner of break-out attempts by the election manipulators. They will not, and cannot, stop with their election system frauds. We must be sober in anticipating their next actions and be relentless in pressing for just and honest elections. Harsh and rapid consequences must be meted out wherever election fraud is uncovered, both past and present.
Both sides now see Tina Peters as an ‘ICONIC’ figure. For the election fraudsters, they must show EVERYONE that anyone who challenges them will pay a price. They also are successfully showing, thus far, that they have methods and tactics which are invincible with the ‘system’ completely under their control.
Conversely, any action that rescues Tina is like the ‘closing of the ranks’ when ‘Cobra King’ linked up with the men of the 101st Airborne. Up to now, Tina has only heard the distant reports of her relief, but thus far, her hope is fading as there are no tanks being seen coming through the fog at the crest of a nearby hill.
While she initially believed that she was in charge of ‘The Gold Standard of Elections Systems’ in Mesa County Colorado, the evidence appeared to show something else. She did not dither. She initiated a back-up operation. As a result, she became the rabbit that all the fraudsters chased. As they turned on her, they actually exposed themselves more clearly by the day.
Tina traveled the country and explained what she had found and documented. She literally worked her life and fingers to the bone helping fellow patriots arm themselves with the weapons necessary to fight their own local battles against machine frauds in counties across America.
Tina has done her job and, like Bill Turner, it is long past time to get her EVAC’d out and IMMEDIATELY PLEASE. It’s time we ‘highballed’ it through our enemies' defenses and save her while there is still time. Do not forget to call the White House Switchboard!
Lastly, I am making final purchases for the 2025 GITMO and Watch the Water Silver coins. I’m holding my prices for the silver packages at allpatriots.gumroad.com and thejennifermac.com. Silver will continue to march up. Do not be flat footed. These prices on our proof quality coins may look cheap in the not too distant future. END QUOTE
