Battle of the Bulge.

Today it is 65 years ago that the Battle of the Bulge started (16 December 1944-25 January 1945). It was the last main and massive counterattack of the German forces during WW II. The most famous event known by most people of the Battle was the defense of Bastogne by the 101st Airborne Division. But this was only a part of the whole battle.
