the germans made a last ditch effort to drive the allies back out of europe, and in thier offensive they created a "buldge" in the allied lines. the germans were driven back however

I read somewhere the name "bulge" was derived from the fact there was a load of tanks involved. meh.

I guess you either don't pay attention is school or your history teacher is a fucking moron, or whoever set the curriculum is a fucking moron.
At my school they mentioned the Battle of the Bulge in enough detail to know why they named it that.

Schools are getting more and more to where they less and less time teaching and more and more time on sports, political correctness, and turning the kids into sniveling,grabasstic civilian messes just like the school board members

The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Ardennes Offensive, was a planned "surprise" attack on the Allied forces by Hitler. He planned to strike in the middle of the defensive by creating a "bulge" in the resistance and capture key cities (Bastonge).

He failed though as the 101st Airborne Division got their before his Panzer divisions did. The well known "Aw, Nuts" response from Brigader General McAuliffe when the Nazi's demanded that they surrendered the city to them.

Uhmm... well a long story short, we planned a counter offensive that split the forces to the north and south and pinched the bulge and concentrated the Axis forces in a small village where they surrendered.

it was Hitler's last offensive attack, like the other people said it created a bulge in the line...the bulge was pushed back 45 miles... Hilter lost because he was a stupid Nazi and the allies won

Hitler lost because he trusted no one and had VERY little military experience. He was only a Corporal in the Great War and did not go to any military school.

the real reason why they lost is the german army's morale was down, no aircover (due to heavy clouds) and determined allied forces. even tho the germans where very well eqipped! as everybody said it was hitlers "last ditch" offensive to try to push the allies back.

Not to mention his Air Assault named the "Big Blow" where they just bombed the Allied Air Fields, but they lost many of their trained pilots and good planes.

Stryker, you also have to think about what the teachers are told to teach. My 11th grade History teacher loves WWII and Vietnam, but he couldn't mention a few battles because the Board of Education requires him to touch on so many subjects in our history in so little time. Sure, he'd most likely go through ever major battle and explain what took place... but he didn't have the time to accomplish that.

See, we take a test called the "Regents" in NY state. The History Regents has a set curriculum and my history teacher has that. So it would be useless to teach kids about "Battle of the Buldge" when they really don't need to know about it. And again, he has not allot of time to teach what "needs" to be teached.

You get what I'm saying?? High School history won't go in-depth on certain battles. They'll have to wait for that in College.
