Duel in the Mist Vol II
Duel in the Mist 2 is the second volume on the actions of Kampfgruppe Peiper during the Ardennes offensive in December 1944 and the American units that opposed them. This volume gives in depth coverage of the events during the 20th and 21st December 1944 in Stoumont, Cheneux, La Gleize and the surrounding areas. It also includes a chapter on the refitting of the Panzer Grenadiers after their odyssey during the Normandy landings and the subsequent Allied advance through France.
A huge selection of mostly unpublished photographs depicts the savage fighting and damage done to masonry, men and machines in these two days of intense combat. There are two dozen consecutive pages of knocked out Panzers in La Gleize alone. Color profiles illustrate German camouflage patterns and detailed Orders of Battle help you visualize comparative unit strengths at different phases of the battle.
