The Americans were not ready for the attack. It was winter and the weather was snowy and cold. When Germany attacked they used over 200,000 troops and nearly 1,000 tanks to break through the US lines. If you were to look at a map of the Allied army front, there would have been a bulge where the Germans attacked. When the Germans attacked, they pushed back the center of the Allied forces' line. The Battle of the Bulge actually took place in the Ardennes Forest of Belgium. The battle lasted for around one month as American forces fought back and kept Germany's army from overrunning Europe. Early in the morning on DecemGermany launched a major attack. However, Adolf Hitler of Germany had different ideas. 101st Airborne troops move out of BastogneĪfter the Allies had freed France and defeated Germany at Normandy, many thought that World War II in Europe was coming to an end.
