Picture courtesy 13abc.com The Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes region of Belgium was Adolf Hitler’s last major offensive in World War II against the Western Front. Hitler’s aim was to finish off the Allies in their drive toward Germany. The German troops’ failed to divide Britain, France and America with the Ardennes offensive paved the way to victory for the allies. The battle of bulge started from December 16, 1944, to January 25, 1945, the attack was also called the Battle of the Ardennes which took place during rigid weather conditions, with some 30 German divisions attacking battle-fatigued American troops across 85 miles of the densely wooded Ardennes Forest. As the Germans drove into the Ardennes, the US army (allied forces) took on the appearance of a large bulge, giving rise to the battle’s name the battle of bulge. The battle proved to be the costliest battle ever fought by the U.S. Army, which suffered over 100,000 casualties. The formerly serene, wooded region of Ardenn

 The battle of Stalingard was a harsh battle between Russian forces and those of Nazi Germany and the Axis powers during World War II. The battle is famous as one of the largest, longest, and bloodiest battle in modern warfare during World War 2. The battle extended from August 1942 till February 1943.  More than 2 million troops fought in the battle of Stalingard and nearly two million people were killed or injured in the fighting, including tens thousands of Russian civilians. But however, the battle of Stalingard (one of Russia’s important industrial cities) ultimately turned the tide of World War II in favor of the Allied forces.

The battle of France is a battle between Germany and the poor countries around. This time I am going to discuss about the battle of France and how Germany destroyed the the Allied forces along it using mobile units. Early tactics Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, leading Winston Churchill to remark, shortly afterwards, 'Thank God for the French Army'. To Churchill at that time, France's army seemed a powerful bulwark against possible Nazi aggression towards other European nations. The defeat of this powerful army in a mere six weeks in 1940 stands as one of the most remarkable military campaigns in history. In 1939, as World War Two loomed, the British and French planned to fight an updated version of what happened in 1914-18 during World War One, but with some essential differences. The French had suffered massive casualties in frontal attacks in 1914. This time they were going to remain on the defensive in western Europe, while mobilising their military force

 Battle of Berlin was a army battle fought between the Allied forces and Nazi  (Germany). This time I am going to discuss how Germany was defeated  by the Allied forces and how much  Germany struggle to recover from the damage.  Nearly a year after the beaches of Normandy were stormed, the Allied push across western Europe was nearly complete. American troops had helped to liberate Paris, win the brutal Battle of the Bulge and press the fight into Nazi Germany through a bitter winter. After the Allies had crossed the last major geographic barrier—the Rhine River—in March 1945, the war in Europe was all but over.     The Third Reich was clamped in a rapidly closing vice with the Allies racing from the west and the Soviet Union charging from the east. Gallows humor seized Berlin as residents joked that the optimists among them were learning English, the pessimists Russian. Cloistered in his concrete bunker deep underneath the gardens of the Reich Chancellery, Adolf Hitler retreated from

Operation Barbarossa was the largest ever land invasion. This invasion was planned by Germany in 1940 by Adolf Hitler. Their goal was to gain victory over the western soviet. This time I am going to discuss how Germany invaded Russia and how Russia protected their country from the Invasion named Operation Barbarossa done by Germany. Operation Barbarossa (German: Unternehmen Barbarossa) was the code name for the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, which started on Sunday, 22 June 1941, during World War II. The operation put into action Nazi Germany's ideological goal of conquering the western Soviet Union so as to repopulate it with Germans. The German Generalplan Ost aimed to use some of the conquered people as slave labour for the Axis war effort while acquiring the oil reserves of the Caucasus as well as the agricultural resources of various Soviet territories. Their ultimate goal included the eventual extermination, enslavement, Germanization and mass deportation to Siberia of t
