Taking advantage of the harsh winter conditions, the mountainous and densely forested terrain as well as the surprise effect, the German forces launched a massive offensive to break through the Allied lines and smash their troops. The German offensive was so powerful that it pushed deep into the Allied positions in Belgium and Luxembourg, creating a distinctive "bulge" in the front line on the map. The battles often developed into close combat man against man. The defense of Bastogne by American troops played a crucial role in this; by stopping the German advance, they accelerated the eventual collapse of the Third Reich. Expand your collection!
