My dad was in the 226th Signal Corps in WW II and John Beck wrote a wonderful, comprehensive history of the 226 SigVets. The 226 was not at the Battle of the Bulge.
My father was in the 59th Signal Battalion in WWII. They were definitely involved in the Battle of the Bulge (Ardennes campaign). Some members of the battalion were actually stranded in Bastogne for a while. This was a very nasty fight.

The battle of the bulge was just 1 battle but their was several operations during the battl of the bulge
856,525 Allied soldiers fought in the Battle of the Bulge and the axis had 496,363 soldiers in the battle of the Bulge
It was the battle of Stalingrad that signaled the demise of the German empire, the battle of the bulge was the last great offensive Germany planned to stop the lightning advance on the German homeland after several military defeats on the eastern front.

The Battle of the Bulge was not among a series of steps to the ultimate downfall of the Third Reich. The loss of the 6th Army at Stalingrad was the arguable first signal. The Battle of Bulge was a last stand of sort on the Western Front for a German Army starved of supply and most importantly oil. The Battle of the Bulge was a German counter attack. It was their last hope in the West to stop the advance of American and British forces. The breaking of the German stand allowed for the Allied armies to enter the German motherland from the West, ultimately surrounded them on both sides (with the Soviets closing to the east).
