Lasting six brutal weeks, from December 16, 1944, to January 25, 1945, the assault, also called the Battle of the Ardennes, took place during frigid weather conditions, with some 30 German divisions attacking battle-fatigued American troops across 85 miles of the densely wooded Ardennes Forest.Īs the Germans drove into the Ardennes, the Allied line took on the appearance of a large bulge, giving rise to the battle’s name. The German troops’ failure to divide Britain, France and America with the Ardennes offensive paved the way to victory for the allies. Hitler’s aim was to split the Allies in their drive toward Germany.

It's worth a watch if you want a film to pass the time, I'd say.Called “the greatest American battle of the war” by Winston Churchill, the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes region of Belgium was Adolf Hitler’s last major offensive in World War II against the Western Front.

The best and most iconic scene in the film is of course when all the tank commanders start singing 'Panzerlied'Īll in all, it has some good performance and some names that you might recognize. And the "why are we germans all speaking English" thing. They didn't exactly have stocks of real Tiger tanks to use in production. Although that's common in war films from this era. But are actually post war American tanks.

Not to mention so called "Tiger" tanks which are definitely not Tiger tanks. Although the actions sequences are there but they are average at best. And the general talking about Germany's wonder weapons which he seems to have so much faith in. Seeing the English speaking German commandos was interesting and the way they are revealed is thrilling. The first half is better then the latter. It takes some liberties with the characters and the battle itself.
