There was only one Tiger 1 tank battalion that saw action in the Battle of the Bulge. These were the Tiger 1s from Schwere Panzer Abteilung (Funklenk) 301. This battalion was originally created to operate remote controlled B-IV demolition tanks (a 3.5 ton low profile tracked bomb that carried a 450 kg explosive warhead) However this unit functioned as a normal Tiger tank battalion in the Ardennes. On December 16th, 1944 this unit had 27 Tiger 1s with 14 being operational while the others were being repaired or were in transit. They began the battle attached to the 319th Panzer Kompany in the 6th Panzer Army but were transfered into the 9th SS Panzer Division on December 20th, 1944 and remain there for the remainder of the campaign. At least one Tiger 1 from this battalion was knocked out near Oberwampach during the withdrawal stage of the battle.

Why was the German defeat at the battle of the bulge so costly?
The Germans had taken so many tanks and other armored vehicles from other zones of battle, which were ultimately lost in the Battle of the Bulge. There was no hope of ever replacing these vehicles and manpower that was lost. They could have been used in a fighting retreat that would have cost many more Allied lives and additional months of battle.
