How did Germany invade France at the beginning of the World War 2?
By sending tanks through the Ardennes.
What advantage did the German army have with its operations in defending the Ardennes from an Allied advance in 1944?
The Ardennes were in a sense comfortable in defending themselves in the wake of the advance of Allied troops in 1944. This was in part because they were familiar with its terrain. In 1940, they had knifed through it in a few days to outflank the Marginot Line and roll up the French and British armies.
What major mistake did the Allies make in preparing to defend against Germany's attack on France?
The major mistake that the Allies made in preparing for Germany's attack in 1940 was their assumption that the Ardennes Forest was impassable. They concentrated their forces to the north and south of it. When Germany attacked through the Ardennes, they encountered weak resistance, which allowed them to complete their plan of encircling the allied armies.
By what route did Germandy invade France?
Germany invaded France in WWII by going through the Ardennes Forest. This was a hilly, heavily wooded area, with few roads, cut by ravines, and thought by all to be impossible for a modern, mechanized army to pass through. So it was lightly defended. One of the best German generals, von Manstein, believed it would be possible to traverse the Ardennes. Hitler agreed as soon as he heard von Manstein's plan. This approach allowed the Germans to burst into France behind the bulk of the French and British Armies, who were facing north, toward Belgium. The Allies were expecting the Germans to come the same way they had in WWI, down the traditional invasion route into France over the centuries, over the flat land near the sea. The Germans would reprise the Ardennes attack in December 1944, when they again unexpectedly came through the Forest to attack the Americans and begin the "Battle of the Bulge", more formally called the "Ardennes Offensive".
What do Battle of the Bulge stand for?
It is a common name used for the Ardennes Offensive or as the Germans called it, Operation Watch on the Rhine which was a German Counter-attack through the Ardennes toward the Port of Antwerp. It was the biggest US battle of WWII. It is a common name for the battle because of the massive bulge in Allied lines.

How did the Nazis use the Ardennes to their advantage?
The defensive doctrine upon which France had built the Maginot Line wrongly assumed that an attack by Germany would be from the front as had been common in the Great War. The Ardennes was considered to be terrain that an attacker would not attempt. France had not fortified the Belgian route and by fienting at the fortified front and attacking through the Ardennes and the Low Countries, the German's Second Army Group was able to penetrate France in depth. The static defense had failed.
