Original U.S. WWII Notice to Population of Bastogne to Report Found Ordnance Dated February 1945 - 8¼ x 10½”
-
Original Item. Only One Available. The Siege of Bastogne was an engagement in December 1944 between American and German forces at the Belgian town of Bastogne, as part of the larger Battle of the Bulge. The goal of the German offensive was the harbor at Antwerp. In order to reach it before the Allies could regroup and bring their superior air power to bear, German mechanized forces had to seize the roadways through eastern Belgium. Because all seven main roads in the densely wooded Ardennes highlands converged on Bastogne, just a few miles away from the border with neighboring Luxembourg, control of its crossroads was vital to the German attack.
This is a great notice printed on February 26th, 1945, two months after the siege, which orders the population of the town to report any explosive device, flying bomb, torpedo, shell, or grenade found so that it could be properly disposed of.
A tremendous piece of Bastogne history that will fit well into any WWII collection. Comes ready to frame and display.
