Why did general westmoreland perceive tet as another battle of the bulge?

Never thought about it before, but there are similarities. The Allies called it the Battle of the Bulge, but to the Germans it was the Ardennes Offensive. The Battle of the Bulge was the largest offensive which the Germans ever launched against the US in WW2, and Tet was the largest offensive mounted against the US by North Vietnam. Both caused initial panic, produced high casualties, and were eventually defeated. Marines defending Khe Sanh were surrounded like the 101st Airborne which had defended Bastogne. Of course, Tet was more of a surgical strike than the Bulge, and it was an unintentional propaganda success because its news images horrified the American public and convinced many that US involvement had been a mistake. If such news coverage had been possible (and allowed) during the Battle of the Bulge, its effect on the home front can only be speculated today.


What was the Battle of the Bulge and what was its importance upon the outcome of World War 2?

The Battle of the Bulge, fought from December 1944 to January 1945, was Germany's last major offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II. The surprise attack aimed to split the Allied forces and capture the vital port of Antwerp. Despite initial successes and creating a "bulge" in the Allied lines, the Allies ultimately repelled the offensive, leading to significant German losses in troops and equipment. This defeat hastened the collapse of Nazi Germany, contributing to the Allies' victory in Europe in May 1945.

What was the importance of the battle of bulge?

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.
