It was the last chance for Germany to turn the tide of war in their favor. If Germany would have been able to push through and succeded in their plans. It would have force the Allies to go to the neogoiating table. But fortunately through the bravery and a lot of luck of the allies, that didn't happen.
Never thought about it before, but there are similarities. The Allies called it the Battle of the Bulge, but to the Germans it was the Ardennes Offensive. The Battle of the Bulge was the largest offensive which the Germans ever launched against the US in WW2, and Tet was the largest offensive mounted against the US by North Vietnam. Both caused initial panic, produced high casualties, and were eventually defeated. Marines defending Khe Sanh were surrounded like the 101st Airborne which had defended Bastogne. Of course, Tet was more of a surgical strike than the Bulge, and it was an unintentional propaganda success because its news images horrified the American public and convinced many that US involvement had been a mistake. If such news coverage had been possible (and allowed) during the Battle of the Bulge, its effect on the home front can only be speculated today.
The Battle of the Bulge took place toward the end of World War II. It was especially important for American forces because troop shortages during this conflict caused integration of black soldiers in the United States military.
Gee, I hope this tight shirt hides my bulge.Is a bugle with a bulge actually a saxophone?"The caldera has a fresh bulge today", shouted the rider as he spurred his horse faster down the volcano's trail.
Today's doctors still abide by the Hippocratic oath.
December 16 is the anniversy of the stat of the battle. Today i heard on the radio that 90,000 Americans were killed or wounded in one month of the battle. Germany's loss were estimated at over 100,000. Those numbers help put the losses in Iraq into perspective.
The holes in the moon's surface, known as craters, were mainly caused by impacts from meteors and asteroids colliding with the moon's surface over billions of years. These impacts kick up debris and create depressions in the moon's crust that remain visible today.
I am ready for a new battle today.
The majority of lunar craters are thought to be formed from impacts by asteroids or comets. These impacts create depressions on the Moon's surface, resulting in the variety of craters we see today.
Some negative impacts of social media on youth today include increased anxiety and depression, cyberbullying, addiction to technology, and decreased face-to-face social interactions.
what is the society today on making bad decisions.
Impacts were extremely common in the young solar system, but impacts still occur today, just not so often.The most talked about impact was Shoemaker-Levy 9 which impacted on Jupiter in July 1994. So generally true but impacts still do occur and will do while there are asteroids and comets around.
The Great Wall of China is the battle's remains visible from outer space today.
