Hitler's Ardennes Offensive: The German View of the Battle of the Bulge The Battle of the Bulge was one of the bloodiest battles of World War II, fought between the Allies and the Germans in the Ardennes region of Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany. It was a turning point in the war, as the Germans launched a surprise attack through the dense forests of the Ardennes, hoping to split the Allied forces and force a negotiated peace. However, the battle ended in disaster for the Germans, with over 100,000 soldiers killed and wounded, and more than 20,000 taken prisoner. The book "Hitler's Ardennes Offensive" offers a unique perspective on the battle, providing an in-depth look at the German side of the conflict. Drawing on primary sources such as diaries, letters, and official records, author Michael Reynolds paints a vivid picture of the events leading up to and during the battle. He explores the motivations behind the German offensive, the strategies employed by both sides, and the devastating consequences of the battle.
