Description

Our story details the legendary last stand of Commander William Desobry's Team of 400 troops and 15 Sherman tanks who were assigned to capture and defend  Noville, France , thereby preventing the German ofensive from overwhelming Bastagnge and Antwerp in Dec '44-Jan of 1945.  Deobry's units, as well as others, faced 10-1 odds, including an entire Panzer division, for 2 whole days, taking over 50% losses, and giving the allies the critical hours needed to prepare defenses for Bastogne.
