When Trumpets
Fade
During the winter of 1944-45, American soldiers endured one of the
bloodiest battles in history. The battle of the Hurtgen Forest, nicknamed
"The death Factory" by the demoralized soldiers., resulted in
ever-mounting casualties. Every two weeks, a new division of American
infantrymen entered the forest, sustaining massive casualties. (Two
Regiments has losses of 100 %) Although this battle was America's greatest
defeat in Europe during World War II, accounts were kept quiet. Nearly
24,000 young American soldiers died or were wounded.
WHEN TRUMPETS FADE is a powerful portrait of men trying to make sense of
the insanity of war. Caught up in a world where there are no easy answers
or solutions, these young soldiers confront life and death dilemmas each
day while trying to uphold their code of honor.
