To the eyes of barely alive GI’s,

it was the edge of nowhere.

In the minds of a Mother and son,

an isolated place.

For a few German soldiers,

another evergreen forest of

glorious Third Reich.

Soul crushing cold, Christmas Eve 1944,

Battle of the Bulge.

One cabin. Destiny forced them

all inside.

Anything could happen.

Something inconceivable did.

This is the true World War II story

of Elisabeth and Fritz Vincken.
