The Battle of the Bulge officially ended on January 25, 1945.

This crucial battle, the final significant German offensive on the Western Front of World War II, started on December 16, 1944, and lasted for more than a month. Following weeks of fierce fighting, the Allies were able to drive the German soldiers back and retake the strategically important Ardennes region. The Germans suffered heavy losses and wounded in the engagement, which significantly reduced their offensive capacity. A pivotal moment in the war, the end of the Battle of the Bulge strengthened Allied determination and prepared the way for additional advances into Germany, which ultimately resulted in the defeat of Nazi troops in Europe later in 1945.
