Synopsis

On the morning of December 16, 1944, the American 106th Infantry Division took the brunt of the overwhelming German armored assault in the Ardennes which came to be known as the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. Two units, the 422nd and 423rd Regiments, held their ground but were cut off as the Germans overran the positions on their flanks. Surrounded, disorganized, unreinforced, and unsupplied, elements of the 422nd and 423rd fought on for five days, and finally became prisoners of the Third Reich. These Americans, or rather those who survived their subsequent captivity, spent the rest of the war as P.O.W.s. My father, 1st Lt. Brandon A. Fullam of Co. G, 422nd Infantry Regiment, was one of them. The narrative that follows is from his personal WWII journal and contains his first-hand descriptions and commentaries about the battle and his experiences as one of the P.O.W.s who was forced to march over 600 miles through Germany and Poland, with little or no food, in sub-freezing weather. This is his story.
