The Battle of the
Bulge by John Toland
In December 1944, the German army had been retreating since its
defeat in Normandy five months earlier. But at 5.00am on December 16th the
German artillery suddenly bombarded the peaceful Ardennes front,
initiating what came to be known as the Battle of the Bulge. It was the
greatest pitched battle ever fought by the Americans, and their only major
struggle in the dead of winter. Before it was over, they had suffered over
80,000 casualties.
The story of the Bulge is told here in its entirety, and from the
point of view of individuals on both the German and Allied sides. It is an
astonishing story oif mass surrender and massacre occuring side by side
with comic opera and unusual heroism. This was Hitler's last desperate
thrust, his final gamble to win the war.
