At the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans attacked the American Army not far from where the American area of responsibility ended and the British area of responsibility began. As a result, the Americans would need to bring all of their reinforcements from the south.

The American General Eisenhower countered by putting the British General Montgomery in charge of the entire Western Front. That way General Montgomery would use both British and American forces to fight the Germans.

So the battle began with the Germans attacking Americans. General Patton came up from the south with his army. A British General joined the attack from the North. Other armies joined in. General Montgomery coordinated the operation until the Germans ran out of gasoline and surrendered.
