The End Is Near!
Beginning in 1944 with the Battle of the Bulge (an intense confrontation in the Ardennes Forest) the war started to turn in favor of The Allied Forces. From that point on, Germany was on the defensive, retreating from combat and suffering a staggering amount of casualties that severely damaged the once intimidating force of Hitler's armies. During this time, the German Air Force was vastly depleted, giving The Allies an edge both in the sky and on the ground that served to drive the Germans back to the fatherland more quickly.
"The Battle of the Bulge started on December 16th 1944. Hitler had convinced himself that the alliance between Britain, France and America in the western sector of Europe was not strong and that a major attack and defeat would break up the alliance. Therefore, he ordered a massive attack against what were primarily American forces. The attack is strictly known as the Ardennes Offensive but because the initial attack by the Germans created a bulge in the Allied front line, it has become more commonly known as the Battle of the Bulge.
Hitler’s plan was to launch a massive attack using three armies on the Allies which would, in his mind, destabilise their accord and also take the huge port of Antwerp through which a great deal of supplies was reaching the Allies."
