25th Tank Battalion

Braced for a German counterattack that never came, the crewmen of a half-buried 7th Armored Division tank keep a sharp lookout for panzers along a road near Manhay (Battle of the Bulge) on December 27, 1944.  When time permitted a U.S. armored unit to prepare for a defensive battle, bulldozers gouged out pits so that the tanks presented a minimal target to enemy gunners.
