The Battle of the Bulge, a pivotal event in World War II, unfolded in the winter of 1944-1945 amidst the dense forests of the Ardennes, near Bastogne and Houffalize. The German offensive, intended to turn the tide of the war, took Allied forces by surprise and led to one of the bloodiest battles for American forces during the war.
