Message sent to the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne:

The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. More German armored units have crossed the river Our near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompre-Sibret-Tillet. Libramont is in German hands.

There is only one possibility to save the encircled U.S.A. troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.

If this proposal should be rejected one German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two hours' term.

All the serious civilian losses caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the well known American humanity.

Gen. Patton?

BG General McAuliffe, acting commander 101st ABN, in response to a german commander, which was Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt if memory serves correctly, request that the american forces at bastonge surrender.

that same day, general McAuliffe also coined the phrase "we're surrounded, ok that makes things simpler" from that came "we're airborne, we're supposed to be surrounded".
