Specifications
The Battle of the Ardennes, also known as the Battle of the Bulge, was the last major German counteroffensive on the Western Front, launched on December 16, 1944. With almost complete surprise, nearly 500,000 German soldiers used the frozen fog and dense forests to attack the American lines.
For nearly a week, the Germans managed to advance impressively, reviving the glories of 1940 and destroying all resistance with often extreme harshness. On the festive Christmas night, the Germans had lost their initial superiority as the skies cleared and air support returned. For the next three weeks, the battle remained in balance, with the Battle of the Bulge proving to be the deadliest battle of World War II for the Americans.
This Battle Craft title also examines four military vehicles that participated in these iconic battles. The imposing King Tigers caused terror and destruction to the allied forces, until the appearance of the agile M18 Hellcats.
The Quartermaster section provides modelers with information about the development and operational use of selected vehicles and aircraft involved in the Battle of the Bulge, accompanied by historical and contemporary photos and illustrations as well as impressive model presentations, fostering their creative imagination.
It also includes details on models and accessories that can significantly help modelers bring military history to life.
