One of the worst World War II movies was “Battle of the Bulge” with Henry Fonda and Robert Ryan.

Things I learned from the "Battle of the Bulge"

1. The Ardennes is a semi-arid prairie with few trees.

2. German panzers looked remarkably like American tanks.

3. A city police detective is worth a division of military intelligence officers.

4. The Germans were just a few yards short of winning the war when they failed to capture a vital fuel depot.

Re: “German panzers looked remarkably like American tanks.”

Yea, that always bugs me too in wwii movies. I love the movie ‘Patton’ too, but they must have have used the same prop guys as were used in the Battle of the Bulge. Their desert “panzer” III/IV’s were 50 era American Patton series M48’s and Americans “Shermans were M47’s.

You nailed it very well. It was very bad.

That would have only prolonged the war. Once the United States got involved, the end was inevitable. The only question was the length of the war.
