Champagne and Burgundy Pb

by: Barbara Eperon
Champagne and Burgundy have more to offer than just wines. Both regions are rich in history, with lovely old churches, abbeys and chateaux, both have waterways among old towns and villages, and both contain some of the wildest, least populated areas of France. The hills, forests and looping rivers of the Ardennes and thick forests, streams and pools of Burgundy's Morvan are wild lands of legend and mythology. Champagne has become busy, like Paris, but Burgundy, for centuries an independent country, remains calm.

Germany's planned goal for these operations was to split the British and American Allied line in half, capturing Antwerp, Belgium, and then proceeding to encircle and destroy four Allied armies, forcing the Western Allies to negotiate a peace treaty in the Axis Powers' favor. The Ardennes Offensive was planned in total secrecy, in total radio silence. Although ULTRA, the Allies' reading of secret German radio messages, suggested a possible German offensive, and the United States Third Army predicted a major German offensive, the attack still achieved surprise. The degree of surprise achieved was compounded by the Allies' overconfidence, their preoccupation with their own offensive plans, poor aerial reconnaissance, and the relative lack of combat contact in the area by the US 1st Army.
