When the Nazi blitz came roaring into Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge, 22-year-old Lyle Bouck and his tiny unit of 18 men decided they weren’t moving an inch. Outnumbered by a German force 500 times their size, Bouck and his squad held their ground at Lanzerath Ridge, turning the Nazi blitzkrieg into a slow crawl. In this episode Ben and producer Andrew Jacobs unpack the grit, ingenuity, and sheer defiance of one of WWII’s most underdog stands—where a handful of American soldiers gave Hitler’s army one hell of a bad day. It’s a story of impossible odds, frozen battlefields, and the young officer who told the blitz to back off.
