The battle of the bulge was just 1 battle but their was several operations during the battl of the bulge
Germany's course of action in the Battle of the Bulge was a more defensive one for them than their usual offensive attacks. Belgium was the last territory that Germany controlled before it would have to retreat to withing the Fatherland (Germany). The German commanders knew that if they could not win the Bulge, then the defeat of Germany would be soon to follow. Though Germany had a slight advantage, being that they were more hidden in the forests than the Americans were and that they had more experience with the cold weather than the Americans did, they did not fortify their positions well enough to where they could hold off a full-frontal assault for more than a few months.
The German attack on the American lines pushed the Americans many miles back in one area resulting in a bulge in the frontlines in Belgium.
The battle took place in Ardennes Mountains region in Belgium, elsewhere in Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. *The 'Bulge' was the general region of the Ardennes Forrest in Belgium, primarily around the town of Bastogne as in order to control the region and the local supply routes, one must have control of Bastogne (all 8 routes in the region came together in this town).
I know that the 439th Troop Carrier Group was involved. My father was one of the glider pilots.
Every g.i. Had to score points to "earn" a discharge home. 85 points was the benchmark; which could be accumulated by ribbons, years of service and surviving the battle of the bulge! By using one free hand and holding a picture of rita hayworth, betty grable, or Jane Russell, with the other hand...this would "solve" any issues g.i.'s had with the battle with bulges!
Could you be more specific, but yes there was one

No, the battle of the bulge happened around six months after d-day. Its part of the German campaign instead of The Normandy one.
Battle of the Bulge 16 Dec 1944
The German attack on the American lines pushed the Americans many miles back in one area resulting in a bulge in the frontlines in Belgium.
the Battle of The Bulge was one of many key reasons that Germany had been slowly failing to hold on to what they had on the Western front because the Soviets were pushing into Germany from the East and the American and British were pushing into Germany from the West and the Battle of the Bulge was the final blow towards Germany's Western front because they wasted the remaining resources on the attack
