=__Pictures:__= == =__Information:__= ===The Battle of the Bulge was fought in Belgium, near a place called Ardennes. On the morning of December 16, 1944 the Germans launched a counter-attack on the Allies with the plan to cut through the Allied forces and turn the tide of the war in Hitler's favor. Their plan was to separate and damage the Allies long enough for the Germans to create and perfect bigger and better weapons. The Germans succeeded at splitting the Allies but not for the intended amount of time. The Allies were slowed down but only for about a week until they were able to get back on their feet and win the Battle of the Bulge on January 25, 1945. By the end of the battle 1,82,040 casualties were calculated. Britain had about 1,408 casualties and Germany lost the most in a casualty rate of 91,132. The Americans lost almost 90,000 men to death, capture, wounds or simply by going missing.===
