Hans Blume shows his photo from 1944 at his home in Hampton. Blume was an 18-year-old private in the German Luftwaffe during WWII. He recalls the Battle of the Bulge from the German perspective on the anniversary of the day Germany launched its last major offensive against the Allies. Some sources consider it the bloodiest battle of the war for U.S. troops.
