What was the battle of Bastogne of World War 2?

The Battle of Bastogne (aka the battle of the Bulge) was the last great German offensive against the allies on the Western front. started in December 1994. The idea was to split the allied forces on a drive to capture the port of Antwerp. The allies were totally surprised because of sloppy intelligence, and a lack of air reconnaissance because of bad weather. The Germans attacked with Tiger tanks, which were superior to allied tanks. Bastogne was a hub of roads that needed to be taken for the Germans to be able to continue their drive to Antwerp. The American airborne troops defended the town and the surrounding woods spite of lacking about everything, including food and winter clothing. When the Germans proposed a surrender, the commander famously answered 'NUTS'. Only a fast operation from general Patton's 3rd Army saved the paratroopers - which they never admitted! Lack of supplies stopped the German attack and when the weather turned, allied air force stopped the attack. The city of Bastogne was basically destroyed during the battle. Bastogne now is a sleepy town, with a monument in the surrounding fields to remember the troops that fought there.
