What was the battle of the bulge background?
The "bulge", as seen on a map of the areas of control by the Allies and the Germans, was an area of the front that became extended (bulged) into the mostly American lines in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg. The Germans had hoped to break through to the river Meuse and surround various Allied army units. The fighting from December 16, 1944 to January 7, 1945 was the last major German offensive of the war, and resulted in the abandonment of large numbers of their tanks and other motorized vehicles due to lack of fuel. --- The 'bulge' was the frontline that protruded out in the region of the Ardennes Mountains (specifically around the town of Bastogne). The Allied forces at that time had control of the area and Nazi forces sought to take the region, as the town of Bastogne gave full access to the 8 supply routes in the region (all 8 roads came together in Bastogne). The Germans used the 'bulge' against us by cutting it off at the sides and surrounding the Allied troops within it.

What infantry was called bloody bucket in World War 2?
I believe that was the 28th "Keystone" Infantry Division because their Shoulder Sleeve Insignia is a bright red keystone that resembles a bucket. I read that term somewhere recently and I believe that is what it referred to. The Pennsylvania Army National Guard's 28th Infantry Division does wear a red "keystone" patch on their shoulder. The patch became known as the "bloody bucket" after WWII, during which the Division suffered massive casualties during the fighting to liberate Europe, particularly in the Ardennes forest and during the Battle of the Bulge, in and around the Belgian town of Bastogne. My dad was a sgt at the Battle of the Bulge and told me that the Germans tagged the 28th with the name BLOODY BUCKET because of the damages and deaths that the 28th caused the German soldiers. He said that as they rounded up the surviving German soldiers, the Germans would refer to the Keystone as a bloody bucket.
