  1. I beg your pardon?

  2. Beaten back with what? You can't stop an armored thrust with lightly armed airborne troops.

  3.  @oldesertguy9616  largely because the Germans ran out of fuel and the US got the weather back and was able to send air power.

  4.  @timf2279  well depends Tim? I guess you're referring to the little thread here concerning the Battle of the Bulge?

  5.  @timf2279  there's no revisionist history in my comments.

  6.  @timf2279  They didn't have javelins in the winter of 1945. And the performance of the Bazookas versus tiger tanks was mixed at best. A problem which would crop up again just 5 years later against t-34s in Korea. I still don't get where that somehow turns into revisionism? Lightly equipped airborne troops are not able to stop armor.

  7.  @timf2279  I consider the access to air support, 3rd Armies armor push, and lack of fuel to continue the push East a more crucial factor than the fight of the Airborne to ending the Bulge. They were able to delay and impede progress. But they weren't turning back anything.
