The Battle of the Bulge was undoubtedly one of the big surprises of the Second World War was also one of the most famous battles of the war, after perhaps the most famous of all, the battle of Normandy. Large numbers come with it: three huge armies clashed, the U.S. and Britain by the Allies (totaling 840,000 soldiers and 1,300 tanks), and Germany on the Axis (with a force of about 500,000 men. And more than 1,800 armored). About 90,000 soldiers were killed by each side (and 3,000 civilians), and after months of struggling, the battle was a draw. Only it was the last major battle launched by the Germans, who were finally exhausted and the dying remnants of an army that it could neither defend the borders of their country.
