With Nazi-Germany about to crumble and Allied and Soviet forces closing in from all directions, Adolf Hitler ordered his forces into one last, desperate attempt to turn the tide. Sending his most powerful Panzer formations through the Ardennes Forrest and to Antwerp; they caught the understrength and inexperienced American units completely off-guard. What followed was a cataclysmic battle which would go down in history as the costliest ever to be fought by the US military. The fierceness with which both sides fought each other ultimately reached a level previously unseen on the Western Front.
