I also read an article, again by Germans who fought in the Battle of the Bulge.

They said they were ultimately stopped by American Combat Engineers blowing bridges just as the got to them. No one ever hears about them but the enemy gave them credit.

Blowing the fuel dumps was as critical. Kampfgruppe Peiper literally ran out of gas. and that unit was the breakthrough spearhead of the 1st SS.
