             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 Ourthe 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 wellknown
             American humanity.

                                                                   The German Commander.
