The Battle of the Bulge, officially known as the Ardennes Offensive to the US Army and Operation The Guard on the Rhine to the Germans took place Dec 1944 to Jan 45. The fanciful idea of retaking Antwerp was not really achievable, though it came as a shock to the Allies who, by and large, thought the Germans incapable of an offensive. 'Nuts'says it all, really. (& if you don't know what that refers to look for Bastogne....)
The last big German counter-offensive was the Battle of the Bulge in which the Germans launched an attack on the allies in the Ardennes.

Belgium To expand on the above, The Battle of the Bulge ( a silly and not very descriptive term) was the last German offensive of the Second World War and was fought in an area bordering France, Belgium and Luxumbourg - the woods of the Ardennnes. It was ill-advised and resulted in extremely heavy losses for the German forces, and was a deciding factor in Germany's defeat shortly after.
The last major German offensive in World War I, during their so-called "Spring Offensive", was the Second Battle of the Marne, near Reims, France in the summer of 1918. The offensive was defeated by the Allies; they immediately counterattacked, which marked the beginning of their "Hundred Days Offensive". The Hundred Days Offensive would ultimately result in Germany's surrender in November 1918.

It was the last great German counterattack on the western front, recovering some ground from the advancing Allied (American) forces. By repulsing it, the Allies drove on to end the war about four months later. The Battle of the Bulge (also known as the Ardennes Offensive and the Von Rundstedt Offensive to the Germans) (16 December 1944 - 25 January 1945) was a major German offensive (die Ardennenoffensive), launched toward the end of World War II through the densely forested Ardennes mountain region of Wallonia in Belgium, hence its French name (Bataille des Ardennes), and France and Luxembourg on the Western Front. The Wehrmacht's code name for the offensive was Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein ("Operation Watch on the Rhine"), after the German patriotic hymn Die Wacht am Rhein.
