Historical Note: The German counteroffensive through the Ardennes in the winter of 1944, the Battle of the Bulge, will long be recalled in American military annals as having inflicted on the US 12th Army Group the first and only serious reverse it suffered in its sweep from Normandy to the Rhine. Counting on the defensive strength of the terrain, General Bradley was holding his line in the Ardennes with minimum forces. On December 16, the Germans crashed through these with a massive counteroffensive. It came as a complete surprise, created widespread if momentary consternation, halted the Allied offensive and cost the Americans and British over 70,000 casualties before they could contain it.
