On December 16th, 1944, over 240,000 men grouped into three German armies, secretly assembled in the Ardennes region, launched an operation code-named Wacht Am Rhein against American forces, which held a thin line in this quiet sector of the Western Front known as a Ghost Front. This operation would be the last major offensive action in the west, better known as the Battle of Bulge.
The area around the region's main road and rail junction, the small town of Bastogne, would soon become the epicenter of the desperate battle.
