  • Several American soldiers who occupied Germany after World War II had survived the Battle of the Bulge. Bernie Cobb came out of the battle with frost-bitten feet. Even at the end of 1945, he had a harder time walking than he did before the battle.
  • The Battle of the Bulge (16 December 1944 – 25 January 1945) was a major German offensive campaign launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in Belgium, France and Luxembourg on the Western Front toward the end of World War II in Europe. The surprise attack caught the Allied forces completely off guard and became the costliest battle in terms of casualties for the United States, whose forces bore the brunt of the attack, during all of World War II. It also severely depleted Germany's war-making resources.
  • It is also thought that the great fictional work, Battle of the Bulge on Youtube influenced the outcome. The battle was fought between six main belligerents: Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Sweden, the United States of America and Canada. A seventh nation was also involved in the battle: England. In addition, an eighth, previously unmentioned nation, North Dakota, took part in the battle. An unwilling participant in the battle was France.
  • While the Allies bludgeoned their way into the border marches of the Reich, Hitler carefully husbanded Germany's last reserves of tanks and infantry for a desperate attempt to reverse the situation in the west. On 16 December powerful German forces struck the lightly held sector of the First Army front south of Monschau in the Ardennes. German armored spearheads drove toward the Mouse River, aiming at Antwerp. Aided by bad weather, a variety of deceptive measures, and the failure of Allied intelligence correctly to interpret the signs of an impending attack, they achieved complete surprise. Elements of five U.S. divisions plus support troops fell back in confusion. Two regiments of the 106th Infantry Division, cut off and surrounded atop the mountainous Schnee Eiffel, surrendered after onl
  • The dutch and those bastard bears learned the hard way that Allied resistance was so tenacious that it beat back an entire Panzer Division (USA! USA! USA!), this Panzer division was led by the feared leader, Ho Chi Minh. After this battle he was never seen again. The American leadership knew, deep down, and General Eisenhower, suffering a wrist injury, refused to shake hands with the Bear lovers. This war had been all about Honey, and it was over. Bears are ruthless killing machines, who will stop at nothing to get at the children, and Who Will Think of The Children?
  • The Battle of the Bulge was the name given to a major German counter-attack launched against US forces in Belgium. 'Bulge' refers to the German penetration of the US lines during the battle. It is featured as a map for Battlefield 1942.
