Battle of the Bulge

On December 16, 1944, the German military launched the “Battle of the Bulge.” It was a last-ditch German military counter-offensive against the Allied armies in the West. Hitler hoped that the German counter-attack would surround the British and American armies and stall the Allied offensive against Germany. By early January 1945, the German military effort had failed. The Battle of the Bulge cost the Reich some 100,000 casualties and tremendous losses in military equipment.
