Summary: Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco, 1987-present) tripped and took a spooky tumble – breaking her hip that required replacement surgery at a USAF base in nearby Germany – on the 80th anniversary commemoration of the all-decisive Battle of the Bulge that spelled the end of the Nazi regime.

Under those conditions, his tens of thousands of troops would have been bogged down for months, suffering frostbite and decimated while the Red Army swallowed all of German and Austria. Thus, penetration of enemy lines enabled American control over the Bulge by the day after Christmas – followed by a month-long mop-up effort – enabling plans to cross the Rhine over several bridges.
