The Anglo-American troops attacking on the Western Front were met with resistance of less than 70 divisions. The fascist beast, caught between two fronts, is still struggling for its life. Sometimes it pooled its forces and formed a powerful fist to deliver fierce assaults on the Anglo-American forces that were stuck on the border between Germany and the Netherlands. The breakthrough at the Ardennes (Belgium) was a sudden, most dramatic surprise for the Allies.
In the early morning of December 16, 1944, Marshal Rundstedt's 250,000 troops, consisting of the 5th, 6th and 7th Tank Armies (14 infantry divisions and 10 tank divisions), were extremely secretly engaged along the mountain roads of the Ardennes. The Germans broke through the 40-kilometer-wide frontage of the Allies, cutting off the connection between the British and American troops, while continuing the offensive towards Antwerp between Namur and Liège. Hitler personally led the operation by issuing orders by radio.
By the end of December, the fascist Germans had expanded the breach to 80 kilometers wide and 100 kilometers deep.
Politicians and military strategists in Washington and London are deeply alarmed by this grave situation. Many of those who fought in the war, especially the French and British officers.
A secret meeting was held in Washington, attended only by **, Secretary of the Army Stimson, and General Groves. At the meeting, Roosevelt announced that he would begin preparations for the decision to use the atomic bomb against Germany.
Eisenhower ordered the entire offensive to be halted and all reserves were thrown in to eliminate the breakthrough opened by the Rundstedt army, and the German offensive was slowed down, but the German high command could no longer draw new divisions from the Eastern Front to develop the offensive.
However, in the early morning of January 1, 1945, the German high command launched another surprise attack on the Allied forces in Alsace and the Vosges province of Dolin. The Germans quickly advanced tens of kilometers and forced their way north of Strasbourg across the Rhine.
Fierce fighting continues in the Ardennes. Although the Anglo-American army had three times the enemy's infantry, and tanks and aircraft were superior, they were still powerless to stop the enemy's offensive. After a month of fierce fighting, the allied team lost a total of 120,000 officers and soldiers and 600 tanks.
