Battron Before The Chariots GN

The action/adventure tales of the French Legionnaire soldier Battron continue! December, 1944. The onset of winter and retreat of German forces along the western front brings hope of an end to the war among the Allied troops. With a lull in the fighting Sgt. Battron accompanies his friend, Esclaviar, to his home in southern Belgium. Before they arrive at their destination, they caught up in a massive German counter-offensive in the Belgium Ardennes Forest; a campaign that will later become known as the Battle of the Bulge. At stake is the remote, seemingly insignificant town of Aufenscheidt. The town seems unimportant on the Nazi list of battle objectives. But deep in the town's dark stone bowels lays a treasure more valuable to the Germans than gold!
