Summary:On December 16 1944, Hitler launches his last desperate offensive - which became known as 'the Battle of the Bulge'. This is captured German newsreel coverage of the launch of the attack. At first, the thrust through the Ardennes forest by large numbers of German tanks and infantry took the Allies by surprise. But the attack failed in the face of superior forces and was finally called off in January, 1945.
