The Battle of the Bulge (officially known as the Ardennes Offensive) was the last major Nazi offensive of World War II. The attack began on December 16, 1944 to try and beak up the alliance between Britain, France and America in Western Europe. The battle was a last ditch attempt by the Nazis to split up the allied offense towards Germany. The Allies were caught off guard by the attack and there was a bulge created in the Allied front line. (Which is how the battle got its popular name.) But the German's initial success lasted only two days. By December 23rd the Americans had started their counter-attack.
On Christmas Eve the Allies were attacked by the first ever attack by jet bombers. But by mid-January 1945 the Germans, running out of fuel, just had to abandon their vehicles.
The Battle of the Bulge was the largest battle of the war with 600,000 US troops engaged in the battle. There were 81,000 American troops lost and 100,000 German casualties.
