By mid-December 1944, World War II on the Wester Front was thought to be all but finished. Since their landings in France the previous June, the Anglo-American armies had compiled a record of unparalleled victory. On December 16 they were preparing a massive drive towared the Rhine River that promised to break the back of German resistance. But on that day, in the foggy dawn, the German Amry counterattacked with the fury of a lightning bolt. The result was the famous Battle of the Ardennes - or to give it its popular name, the Battle of the Bulge. The Bulge was a brutal struggle in a dismal winter landscape against an enemy imbued with a fanatic conviction that victory could be snatched from defeat. It was the United States Army's Greatest and fiercest battle of World War II. Over a million men and thousands of guns, tanks, and other fighting vehicles were engaged. In those "Bitter Woods", fighting against heavy odds, the American soldier slowed and then stopped the spearhead of two elite Panzer Armies, forever embalzing themselves in the annals of military history.
