America landing in Europe on D Day and Russia taking the offensive to the Germans. The Battle of the Bulge was Hitlers last desperate act to get America out of Germany. Hitlers main plan was to cut through American lines all the way up to Holland. Basically the whole war led up to the Battle of the Bulge, Germany desperately wanted to win the war so they planned the Battle of the Bulge (the Ardennes Counter Offensive)
1. The speed of the Breakout, Operation Cobra, & the advance across France. 2. The failure of Market Garden to cross the Rhine (Arnhem) 3. The perceived difficulty of the terrain in the Ardennes. (Percieved wrongly !) 4. The fact that the Allies did not know of the panzer build up prior to the attack. 5. The weather nullifed Allied Air Superiority: Cloudy conditions made the German attack invisible to any Allied aerial recconaisance. The Germans were accustomed to fighting in winter conditions, having done so in the East, the US was not.
Because Hitler wanted to halt the American advance in order to recover and regroup his armies. This is thought to have been the battle that ended hitlers advance.
