#1 Arend is one of seven people in the F Company 291st, 75th Infantry, who survived the Battle of the Bulge from 1944 through 1945 in the Ardennes Forest on the border between Germany and Belgium. Does this statement mean only seven men remain alive today or only seven survived the Battle of the Bulge?

#2 I read it as seven people in F Company who survived the Bulge.

#3 Those aren't very good odds. You would have expected more to survive due to non-mortal but disabling wounds (blindness, lost a leg ect.)
