An absolutely harrowing first-person account of the 94th Infantry Divisions bold campaign to break through Hitlers impregnable Siegfried line at the end of World War II

Eighteen-year-old William Foley was afraid the war would be over before he got there, but the rifleman was sent straight to the front lines, arriving January 25, 1945just in time to join the 94th Infantry Division poised at Hitlers legendary West Wall. By the time Foley finally managed to grab a few hours sleep three nights later, hed already fought in a bloody attack that left sixty percent of his battalion dead or wounded. That was just the beginning of one of the toughest, bloodiest challenges the 94th would ever face: breaking through the Siegfried Line. Now, in Visions from a Foxhole, Foley recaptures that desperate, nerve-shattering struggle in all its horror and heroism.

Features the authors artwork of his fellow soldiers and battle scenes, literally sketched from the foxhole
