Definitely, the Battle of the Bulge was a desperate gamble by Hitler, and probably brought the war to an end a year earlier than it might otherwise have been. Of course, there are those who argue that the Rhine wasn’t much of a barrier if the Channel wasn’t, but staging the cross-channel invasion took place more or less out of sight.

The Compost blogger should be publicly reprimanded, forced to post a retraction and refutation of his own hit piece, then kicked off their site for life.

IMHO, our not so secret weapon in Europe was Hitler. He kept interfering in military decisions and he had a knack for getting them wrong. I saw a post a while back that one of the considerations discussed when the Brits were thinking about an assassination attempt was that Hilter was shortening the war for us.
