United States Army general (1898–1975) who commanded the force defending Bastogne, Belgium, during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. He was famous for his brief reply to a German surrender ultimatum: “Nuts!” At the sixtieth anniversary of the battle, a veteran told the press that McAuliffe never uttered that exact word, but that the newspapers had found his actual phrasing too strong, and toned it down for their dispatches home. Ballpoint signature, “A. C. McAuliffe, General US Army (ret),” on an off-white 5 x 3 card, with a typed collector’s notation along top edge. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
