On this day in 1944, General George S. Patton, aka Old Blood and Guts, begins his bold strategy to relieve the Allied defenders of Bastogne, Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge.
Ultimately, his plan paid off, and his 3rd Army penetrated the German lines and pushed them east across the Rhine.
Notably, a couple weeks prior, 250,000 prayer cards were distributed to every soldier in his Third Army. The text represents a two-sided card.
