Preparing for d day
Before d day many soldiers needed to
learn how to storm beaches and use the
weapons they will need. Also there were
some setbacks. The battle was supposed
to be on January 1st but was delayed due
to storm and bad weather. Then it was
selayed again because president
Eisenhower thought his men needed more
training.

What the Battle Was
The Battle Of The Bulge was a major German
offensive campaign launched through the
densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia
in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg on the
Western Front toward the end of World War II
in Europe. The surprise attack caught the Allied
forces completely off guard. United States
forces took the force of the attack and incurred
their highest casualties for any operation during
the war.

Miscellaneous Information
The objective was to split the Allied armies by
means of a surprise blitzkrieg thrust through
the Ardennes to Antwerp, marking a repeat of
what the Germans had done three times
previously–in September 1870, August 1914,
and May 1940. The name of the battle is
because as the Germans drove deeper into the
Ardennes in an attempt to secure vital
bridgeheads, the Allied line took on the
appearance of a large bulge, giving rise to the
battle’s name.

Why It Was A Surprise
The Battle of the Bulge lasted from December
16th, 1944 to January, 25th 1945. The offensive
was planned by the German forces with utmost
secrecy, minimizing radio traffic and moving
troops and equipment under cover of darkness.
Despite their efforts to keep it secret, the Third
U.S. Army's intelligence staff intercepted
German communications that showed that a
"substantial and offensive" operation was
expected, although they could not predict a
precise date or point of attack.
