Note
The Allied army that was surrounded during the Battle of the Bulge was the American Army.
In December 1944, as the German forces launched a surprise offensive, American troops found themselves encircled in the strategic town of Bastogne. The soldiers faced harsh winter conditions and critical supply shortages while under siege but displayed remarkable resilience and determination in holding their position. This defense became a symbol of American courage during the battle. Eventually, the 101st was relieved by General Patton’s Third Army, which played a significant role in turning the tide against the Germans. The successful defense of Bastogne was crucial to the overall Allied victory in the Battle of the Bulge and marked a pivotal moment in World War II.
