háborúkra

Háborúkra, also known as the Battle of the Bulge, was a major German offensive campaign launched during World War II in the winter of 1944-1945. The operation aimed to encircle and destroy the Allied forces in the Western Front, particularly those in Belgium and Luxembourg. The German forces, under the command of Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, launched the attack on December 16, 1944, with the goal of pushing the Allies back to the English Channel and forcing a negotiated peace.

The Battle of the Bulge was a significant turning point in the war, marking the last major German offensive on the Western Front. The battle was characterized by intense fighting in the dense forests and harsh winter conditions of the Ardennes region. The German forces initially made significant gains, but the Allies, under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, were able to counterattack and push the Germans back. The battle ended on January 25, 1945, with the Allies regaining control of the territory they had lost.

The Battle of the Bulge resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, with estimates ranging from 70,000 to 100,000 Allied and 90,000 to 100,000 German casualties. The battle also had significant strategic implications, as it delayed the Allied advance into Germany and allowed the Germans to regroup and prepare for the final offensive. The Battle of the Bulge is considered one of the most significant battles of World War II and is often cited as a turning point in the war.
