The Germans held up the Allied advance for a week or more in the Battle of the Bulge, but ultimately it made little difference to the outcome of WWII.
The Germans were trying to recreate the amazing success of the battle of France by driving through the allied lines to the channel thus forming a northern pocket they could eliminate.
This was always a fantasy as allied forces were not comparable to those deployed in 1940
Basically, it was the last chance of success in the West for Germany and Hitler knew it.

∙ 14y agoThe Battle of The Bulge was stopped in several ways. First, Germany had a lot fewer resources to throw into a battle at this point than in the beginning of the war. The German Army contained many raw troops that no real idea of what to do. They did not know how to fight. When they faced the 101 Airborne dug in, they would not attack. Second, the German army ran low on gasoline and supplies.
The American General Eisenhower immediately sized up the situation and put the British General, Montgomery (Monty), in charge of the battle. Monty had the American Air Force under General Iron Pants Curtis Mc Ley Bomb the German forces. Then General Blood and Guts George Patton brought his tanks from 100 miles away and finished the job.

Answer 1There are several answers depending on what is the definition of "end." The German's "Ardennes Offensive" which began DEC 16, 1944 was stopped on Dec 22, 1944. Many look on this as the end of the "Battle of the Bulge." This was not completely accurate as the Germans had to be kicked out of the bulge area of which they had taken control. At that point, the battle continued with the Allies taking the offensive to regain control of the area within the "bulge." That part of the battle ended Jan 25, 1945.
