By the time of the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans had no chance of winning. I guess in desperate situations you take desperate chances.

It was Hitler’s idea and a bad one but I sort of see why he did it. It ended up wasting a lot of resources and getting a lot of Germans killed. A lot of Allies were also killed but we had so many that it didn’t matter.

Peiper was stopped short of his goal but so what. Even if he had made it to Antwerp, what could they have done? They at least would have probably had plenty of fuel for a while.

My grandfather's brother died at the Bulge. Just one of too many perished heroes.
