[edit] Allied forces

If there were only American troops defending the city, should there really be references to "the allies"?

Yes, since supporting forces from without Bastogne included French, British, Dutch, Belgian and Polish forces in addition to other American units who all forced their way in from various directions from due south to due north. - SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 21:09, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] They captured a town in Switzerland?

There is reference to a town "Noville" in the article. Clicking the link takes one to the wikpedia page for a town in Switzerland. Switzerland was mostly neutral in the war.

=I removed the [[ ]] from the first instance that shows Noville. But for some reason the original page remains - with the error intact, although the changes I have done are recognised in page History. ???? However, I did add a link to the second mention of Noville that shows an artists impression of the liberation of town by Easy Company (Band of Brothers). The link page also contains a few words from Dick Winters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.218.40 (talk) 11:01, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
