There never was a chance. By December 1944 the WAllies had outrun their supply lines. Patton stripped follow-on units of fuel and other supplies to keep his armored spearheads going as long as they did. The Germans shortened the war by months at least by expending men, vehicles, weapons and supplies in the Bulge. Those losses allowed the Red Army to surge forwards to the Elbe.We lost almost half the number of total losses in Korea and Vietnam in a battle late in WW2 that should not have happened but the media convinced America that it was a victory. Perhaps it was a victory but it took them 20,000 lives and 50,000 casualties when they should have rolled over what was left on the German defenses when they had the chance.
