In late 1944, the Allies were on a roll, and Germany was on the ropes. Some Allies, considering how fast they were advancing, thought the war might be over by Christmas.

However, Hitler had a plan. He would engage in one last desperate battle, which he thought would turn the tide of the war in the West and possibly wipe out the Allies completely. 

The result was one of the largest battles of the Second World War and the German military's ultimate failure.

Learn more about the Battle of the Bulge and how it shaped the course of WWII on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
