Join us to commemorate the Battle of the Bulge, which ended January 25, 1945.
In December, 1944, the Germans launched a surprise offensive with half a million men, 1800 tanks, and 1900 artillery guns through the Ardennes region of Belgium, France, and Luxembourg.
The German forces punched through the allied lines and got approximately half way to Brussels before finally being pushed back. This is where the 101st Airborn made its stand at Bastogne, where Patton's 3rd US Army charged into bitterly cold winter battle, and where elite Panzer Armies under Generalfeldmarschall Gerd von Rundstedt made one of their last big pushes.
For America, it was the largest battle of WWII. For Germany, it was a waning hope for offensive operations in the west.
