Item Details
Description
Round brass plaque, 5 1/2" wide, depicts two large military figures standing over the Belgian town of Bastogne. The plaque symbolizes the presentation of the German surrender ultimatum to Gen. Anthony McAuliffe at Bastogne on Dec. 22, 1944. McAuliffe replied 'Nuts', which appears in relief at the top of the plaque. The piece also includes the American and Nazi flags and parachutes representing the 101st Airborne Division. "DEC 44", which is when this battle took place, is also cast in the plaque. These plaques, like similar octagonal examples, are believed to have been fashioned from melted down artillery casings.
