According to my Dad, they had a terrible time with traction that winter, not just at the bulge. He was in command of a truck Company in the Quartermaster Corps. He was riding in a WC on icy roads once and it went off the road and flipped. The driver and he were not hurt much but the guys in the back sustained injuries. None fatal. He and I watched a movie once on the battle of the bulge and it showed trucks with chains. He claimed that he never had chains for any of his trucks. I dont know either way, maybe they did, maybe they didnt, it was over 50 years before, could be his memory was off.
