CHAPTER 16-LOWEBB OP SUPPLY
1 M31. General McAuliffe says that December 23 was the day of crisis.
In this he appears to be mistaken. The artillery commanders all said that
it was on the afternoon of the 22d that they were most worried about their
supply. This checks with the fact that resupply began to arrive fairly early
the next morning.
2M31.
3 From Colonel Marshall's interviews with Lieutenant Colonel John T.
Cooper, Jr., and Colonel Nelson, and from General McAuliffe's statement
on the employment of his artillery.
4 M36. Also interview with Colonel 8ink and others.
5 From the Cooper interview.
6 M31; 1 M31, 874.
8 M31. ·General McAuliffe recollected this as happening on December
23. Colonel Kinnard said it happened on December 22. The 22d appears
to be correct inasmuch as resupply became assured on the morning of December
23. There is no doubt, however, about the validity of this quotation.
Kinnard and Danahy both heard it, and when his memory was
refreshed General McAuliffe recalled that he had said it.
9M32,861.
10 Westover was impressed by this difference in how the little units
looked at the operation as compared with the .101 st Division Headquarters
viewpoint. The observation was made on the basis of Westover's findings
as contrasted with Marshall's.

12 This comes from the statement of many of the officers through Westover.
