Operation Sudden Death - Forgotten Ardennes Missile Campaign

One aspect of the Ardennes Offensive has been ignored - a German support operation using the infamous V-Weapons to bombard Allied supply centres behind the American lines. This is the story of Antwerp, the target of the German ground offensive, and its severe bombardment by V-1 Flying Bombs and V-2 Ballistic Missiles throughout the campaign and after.
