The "bulge", as seen on a map of the areas of control by the Allies and the Germans, was an area of the front that became extended (bulged) into the mostly American lines in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg.

The Germans had hoped to break through to the river Meuse and surround various Allied army units. The fighting from December 16, 1944 to January 7, 1945 was the last major German offensive of the war, and resulted in the abandonment of large numbers of their tanks and other motorized vehicles due to lack of fuel.

The 'bulge' was the frontline that protruded out in the region of the Ardennes Mountains (specifically around the town of Bastogne). The Allied forces at that time had control of the area and Nazi forces sought to take the region, as the town of Bastogne gave full access to the 8 supply routes in the region (all 8 roads came together in Bastogne). The Germans used the 'bulge' against us by cutting it off at the sides and surrounding the Allied troops within it.
