So, I guess you could say that in a sense, Hitler’s Ardennes offensive was aimed primarily at Montgomery’s ego.

Dang, man, in a way, maybe. Looks like it almost worked.

Monty's ego knew no bounds. As far as I can tell the only thing he did in response to the Bulge was send a British Corps to block the Meuse crossings, a sound military move but hardly one that won the battle. Patton's drive to Bastogne began December 22, but Monty couldn't get moving by the promised January 1. And then he gave the job to First Army.

Yet the guy gives a press conference taking credit for all Allied success in stopping and rolling back the offensive. And you know what? I bet he actually believed it.
