On this day, one of the last great battles of WWII began in Belgium in 1944. The Battle of the Bulge was an attempt by the Germans to cut the Allied army in two and seize key ports. It was hoped that this would force the Allies to negotiate with N**i Germany. The Germans launched ”Operation Mist” better known as the Ardennes offensive or the Battle of the Bulge. The offensive is best known as the Battle of the Bulge because of the ‘bulge’ that the Germarmy created in the allied lines. The Germans threw almost a quarter of a million men into the offensive and it was for them the last throw of the dice. They were opposed by just over 80,000 American troops. The Germans attacked the American units at their weakest point. There was a 50 mile stretch of the lines that was not properly guarded because it was believed that they terrain was not suitable for an offenive. The Germans were lucky, a thick fog covered their assault and prevented the allies from launching air attacks against them. The Germans were able to overwhelm several American units and more were forced into a headlong retreat.
