Battron: Against The Chariots

The military action/adventures of French Legionnaire Battron continues as he battles German Panzer units in the Belgium forest during World War II ! December 1944. In Belgium's Ardennes forest, Hitler's last gamble on the western front is playing out as his German Panzer units and SS Shock Troops are assaulting the long, ragged thin line of the U.S. 1st Army. An engagement that will later be called the Battle of the Bulge. Cold, worn out veterans and green G.I.s are hanging on in their foxholes, and sometimes dying in them. But can they hold out? Or will the Wehrmacht crack the line and drive the Americans back to Paris? In the remote village of Aufenscheidt, a mixed rag-tag group of Allied soldiers are persevering against increasing attacks from numerous German units, which seem to be intensifying hour-by-hour. Why the Germans want the seemingly unimportant town is a mystery. But every individual feels the physical and emotional pressure, including Sergeant Battron. Separated on the battlefield from his French Foreign Legion group, Battron struggles to support both his old friend Esclaviar who wishes to return to his family, while still keeping faith that these Americans fighting by his side will hold out against the German onslaught. But as the Germans gradually crack the outer walls of Aufenscheidt, and tighten the noose around the town, the cost of these assaults and defense will be handed out to each individual in direct relation to personal effort. And that final cost may be exorbitant to everyone on all sides...
