Ardennes 1944

Hitler's last gamble
Examines the history of the Battle of the Bulge in the Belgian Ardennes in the winter of 1944, discussing the reasoning behind Hitler's decision to push toward Antwerp in the hopes of separating the British and Canadians from the Americans. Examines how the harsh winter conditions exacerbated the war for both Allies and Axis, and argues that this battle more than any other broke the German hold on Europe.
