The Germans lost roughly 100,000 men compared to the Americans, who lost roughly 80,000 men, he said. “It is a huge amount of people killed, wounded or captured.”
there are more Americans killed after Christmas, than before.” The battle lines did not return to the December 15 position until January 25, 1945.
