I think the German advance in the “Bulge” was halted partly by lack of fuel and also bridges being blown.

I know the German commander was quoted as saying something like, “they would have succeeded if not for those damned engineers.”

The German advance in the Bulge was halted by American soldiers, most of them conscripts, who did their duty.

Thousands of them died in the bulge.
