At 11:15 a.m. on December 27, 1944, Fw. Oscar Boesch and his Staffel pilots were suddenly attacked over the Ardennes by more than fifty P-51 Mustangs. The FW-190's turned tightly over the trees at low level, but many were shot down. In the wild melee that followed, Boesch managed to shoot down a Mustang into the trees and escaped with his life. This extremely dramatic and detailed portrayal of the event shows action both in the air and on the ground. US tanks clash with a German supply convoy that is escorted by armor.
