Assault begins the

Hessler, the chief antagonist of the story, is taken to a secret underground command bunker and introduced to new hi-tech weapons like the V1 and V2 rockets and the jet plane that the Germans are developing.

When ushered into the war theater within the following 18 months, these weapons are powerful enough to turn the tide of the war in Germany's favorm he is told. Hessler listens to all that with a grain of salt. He has seen and heard all that before. But what gets him going is the new Tiger tank, much faster and more powerful than any tank the Allies have, with a thicker armament and a devastating 90 mm cannon.

Despite his initial resistance, Hessler becomes a believer that they might indeed turn the tide and win the war by launching a surprise attack in the dead of the winter through the Arden forests and catching the Allies by a surprise. Since the weather reports suggest that it will be very cloudy and foggy for a few days days, Allied planes would not be a factor either.

Few sources:

When the assault begins, the advancement of the unstoppable Tiger tanks is rapid. All the front Allied posts fall like matchsticks, one by one. With the help of German paratroopers dressed like GIs and who talk perfect English due to their previous experience in the United States, the Germans cut the telephone and telegraph wires and launch a successful fifth column operation to confuse and misdirect the American troops.

Kiley, who was just about to be shipped back to the States due to his contrarian views, is vindicated and stays at the battle front since his heads-up observation skills keeps generating fresh intelligence and helps Gen. Grey in the most critical moments.
