Come On You Sons of Bitches — Where Marines Became Devil Dogs
The battle that forged the modern Marine Corps legend. A dense French hunting preserve becomes a nightmare of close-quarters combat. Shattered trees stand like skeletal fingers over a landscape torn apart by artillery. Machine gun nests hide behind boulders and fallen timber. Marines advance into the wood against entrenched German positions in fighting so fierce the Germans named them Teufel Hunden — Devil Dogs. The wheat field at the forest edge is golden and deadly, swept by interlocking fields of fire. This board captures the claustrophobic intensity of forest warfare like no other set in our collection.
