"Describes the surprise German counteroffensive of Dec. 16, 1944 that caused a "bulge" into Allied lines in the Ardennes region of Belgium and thebloody winter battle in which the Allies halted the German advance and gradually regained the lost territory."@en
"The last German counteroffensive of World War II was the single biggest and bloodiest battle in U.S. military history. In sub-zero temperatures and blinding snow, American soldiers were overrun by an enemy with unsuspected reserves of well armed men and heavy weaponry. When it was over, 80,000 Americans were killed or wounded; German casualties were said to be twice that. Packed with footage from newsreels and German and American archives, this documentary is a compelling chronicle of war that captures both the action on the front lines and the strategy behind the scenes."@en
